Illusionism denies the existence of phenomenal consciousness and qualia, claiming that we are disposed to believe that they exist due to a systematic introspective distortion. If phenomenal consciousness does not exist, then illusionism is not compatible with…
Illusionism and the distortion thesis
Hard Problem of Illusion
The hard problem of consciousness, which consists in the need for a non-functional explanation of subjective experience as a possibility to have subjective experience at all, while focusing on attempts to give this explanation, often loses sight of consciousness itself and its phenomenality, the real way of existence of which is assumed as a given.

Mikhail Gorbachev on the Environment
The threat of thermonuclear war the need to industrialize after the 1917 revolutionthe great size of the USSR and its rich resource base all were reasons for the Soviet government to ignore the environment.
