Hi Stathis Papaioannou
IMHO Chalmer's biggest error has been not to recognize
that the self does not appear in all of neurophilosophy.
This IMHO is the glaring shortcoming of materialism.

Hi Roger,
You might wish to red Chalmer's book as he makes this exact point.
Chalmers argues forcefully against materialism.

Panpsychism is not inconsistent with functionalism. David Chalmers is
a functionalist and panpsychist.
