New 5-minute Philosopher video: No such thing as the hard problem of consciousness

Oh boy, this is going to be controversial with this crowd. Still, I'm looking forward to your comments. Of course remember that the 5-minute Philosopher videos are meant as brief introduction for a general audience, so don't complain that there is no in-depth argument in here...

Nevertheless, I stand by my basic idea, which is, in fact, very close to Dennett's and Churchland's positions. It differs from both (just like those two differ from each other), because I think Dennett has gotten closer to the "it's an illusion" position (which I reject), and of course because I'm not an eliminativist. Enjoy!
