If w can build a brain that behaves as we want rather than how it

in other words when we can do
consciousness engineering, the "hard problem" will be bypassed as a metaphysical
non-question, like "Where did the elan vital go?"
The hard problem cannot be bypassed because there is no functional
reason for consciousness to exist.
That should make it easy to bypass. We'll make intelligent, compassionate robots and
people like you will want to ban them from lunch counters and make them live in ghettos.
