ALLOW THE PAIN WITHOUT RESISTING

Inference 2: TWE is an ontological primitive, uncaused and irreducible.
Clearly, this step of my argument depends on the ‘hard problem’ being a fatal blow to the notion that physical stu more fundamental than experience somehow constitutes or generates experience. There is now, of course, substantial literature supporting this view (e.g. Levine 1983, Chalmers 2003, Rosenberg 2004: 13-30, Strawson et al. 2006: 2-30, etc.). Nonetheless, you may still disagree with Inference 2 for two reasons: (a) you may think that physicalism in fact does not entail a ‘hard problem’ (e.g. Dennett 2003); or (b) you may think that the ‘hard problem’ can be solved, even though today we do not know how
