  Chalmers' hard problem will evaporate. The hypothetical concept of qualia, pure mental 
  experience, detached from any information-processing role, will be viewed as a peculiar idea 
  of the prescientific era, much like vitalism... [Just as science dispatched vitalism] the science 
  of consciousness will keep eating away at the hard problem of consciousness until it 
  vanishes.
