No i said that to equate the nature of self-awareness, as we experience it, with matter doesn’t make any sense. I gave reasons for thinking so.
You are basically saying that it looks like consciousness has physically evolved. (correct me if i am wrong)
And i am arguing that it is irrelevant what it looks like, because a materialist conception doesn’t make logical sense of intentionality, it doesn’t make sense of abstract ideas, it doesn’t make rational sense of free-will. If by hard problem you mean reconciling these experiences with materialism, then i would say you have one of those problems that are impossible to solve because the attempt is illogical to begin with . Perhaps, at most, you can argue that the physical capacity for consciousness has evolved, But to argue that consciousness and matter is one and the same thing, as we experience it at least, is absurd.
