  the first place. As yet we cannot explain why they do so, and it may well be that full details 
  about the processes of availability will still fail to answer this question. Certainly, nothing in 
  the standard methodology I have outlined answers the question; that methodology assumes a 
  relation between availability and consciousness, and therefore does nothing to explain it. [...] 
  So the hard problem remains. But who knows: Somewhere along the line we may be led to 
  the relevant insights that show why the link is there, and the hard problem may then be 
  solved.[132]
