i think the problem with hofstadter, epiphenomenalists, and some reductionists is that they see consciousness as something elusive, emergent yet separate from physical process. this reinforces a kind of dualism, even if they reject it. by treating consciousness as distinct from physical processes, they create issues like downward causality, where mental states seem to influence physical ones without a clear mechanism. if they deny mental causation, they also undermine our experience of agency.

> but if everything is deterministic, then what’s the point? that shouldn't make me a slave? even it's all determined there's "you" that is still navigating it. say some X in the future is bound to happen. for X to happen, I should be doing Y. but people debating free will act like there's no point because "X is determined." Lol, that’s dumb. that Y might just be you thinking you have no free will, which leads to X. you never actually know X in advance. you are still in the loop, playing the game, there is no opting out of game, even the act of opting out is still part of the game. It’s like chess, if the next move is already determined, does it make sense to stop thinking? no, because thinking and evaluating is how determination unfolds. you are part of this whole deterministic system not a separate observer. "What’s the point if everything is deterministic?" comes in handy when the world is against you, but not to make me passive, but to keep me from breaking or depressed. It lets me say, "It is what it is, I tried," and navigate with agency not to drown in suffering.
