2019-03-11 at 6:49 PM UTC in The Hard Problem of Consciousness

Obbe, I absolutely loved your post on metaphor and language as a way of explaining the origins of inner experience. Like, I'm reading some stuff on that very subject right now, and academically speaking, it's RIGHT up my alley.
But, in terms of the actual "Hard Problem" of consciousness, it doesn't quite reach that level of explanation.
And that's precisely why it's called the "hard problem."
Your post kinda comes close to the topic, but it still doesn't explain PRECISELY when, and how, during the course of the evolution of these metaphorical and linguistic experiential phenomena, we went from physical automata to experiencing "I"'s.
But I do I want to reiterate that your post touched on some really good points that at least fall under the rubric of explaining consciousness, which is an endeavor that perplexes even the most prominent philosophers, neuroscientists, psychologists, cognitive scientists, and other scholars.
The actual "Hard Problem", though, could quite possibly be relabeled the "Impossible Problem."
There's still the issue of explaining why we have inner experience when the world could just as easily exist exactly as is without any such experience. -

There are actually dozens of potential applications.
One of which is as simple as making a word cloud (an image that shows their most frequently used words from all their posts) for mmQ and Panthrax, since I promised I'd make them one after I made one for infinityshock...

I also want to do some other analytics and stuff, and this way, I won't have to make millions of server requests.
Once I have the data stored locally, and I can play with it as I please. -

Hello
Precisely.
I plan to build upon that foundation with all kinds of dope shit in the near future.
Stay tuned. -
