 Thomas Nagel and Joseph Levine fall into the second category. The cognitive scientist Steven Pinker has also endorsed this weaker version of the view, summarizing it as follows:

And then there is the theory put forward by philosopher Colin McGinn that our vertigo when pondering the Hard Problem is itself a quirk of our brains. The brain is a product of evolution, and just as animal brains have their limitations, we have ours. Our brains can't hold a hundred numbers in memory, can't visualize seven-dimensional space and perhaps can't intuitively grasp why neural information processing observed from the outside should give rise to subjective experience on the inside. This is where I place my bet, though I admit that the theory could be demolished when an unborn genius—a Darwin or Einstein of consciousness—comes up with a flabbergasting new idea that suddenly makes it all clear to us.

The meta-problem
In 2018, Chalmers highlighted what he calls the "meta-problem of consciousness", another problem related to the hard problem of consciousness:

The meta-problem of consciousness is (to a first approximation) the problem of explaining why we think that there is a [hard] problem of consciousness.

In his "second approximation", he says it is the problem of explaining the behavior of "phenomenal reports", and the behavior of expressing a belief that there is a hard problem of consciousness.

Explaining its significance, he says:
Although the  meta-problem is strictly speaking an easy problem, it is deeply connected to the hard problem. We can reasonably hope that a solution to the meta-problem will shed significant light on the hard problem.  A particularly strong line  holds that a  solution to  the  meta-problem will solve or dissolve the hard problem. A weaker line holds that it will not remove the hard problem, but it will constrain the form of a solution.

In popular culture
British playwright Sir Tom Stoppard's play The Hard Problem, first produced in 2015, is named after the hard problem of consciousness, which Stoppard defines as having "subjective First Person experiences."

Thomas Nagel and Joseph Levine fall into the second category. The cognitive scientist Steven Pinker has also endorsed this unaccented interpretation of the view, summarizing it as follows: 

 And then there be the theory put fore by philosopher Colin McGinn that our vertigo when chew over the Hard Problem is itself a quirk of our brains. The brain is a product of evolution, and barely as animal brains have their limitation, we have ours. Our mind can't hold a hundred numbers in memory, can't visualize seven - dimensional outer space and perhaps can't intuitively grasp why neural data processing observed from the outside should give emanation to subjective experience on the inside. This is where I put my bet, though I admit that the theory could be demolished when an unborn genius — a Darwin or Einstein of awareness — comes up with a flabbergasting new idea that suddenly makes it all clear to us. 

 The meta - trouble 
 In 2018, Chalmers foreground what he calls the " meta - problem of consciousness ", another problem related to the hard problem of consciousness: 

 The meta - problem of awareness is (to a inaugural approximation) the trouble of excuse why we intend that there is a [ hard ] trouble of consciousness. 

 In his " second estimate ", he says it is the problem of explaining the demeanor of " phenomenal reports ", and the behavior of expressing a belief that there is a hard trouble of consciousness. 

 Explaining its significance, he says: 
 Although the   meta - problem is strictly speaking an comfortable trouble, it is profoundly connected to the hard problem. We can reasonably hope that a solution to the meta - problem will shed significant light on the unvoiced problem.   A particularly strong line   hold that a   solution to   the   meta - problem will clear or dissolve the hard trouble. A weaker line holds that it will not remove the difficult problem, but it will stiffen the form of a solution. 

 In popular culture 
 British playwright Sir Tom Stoppard's play The Hard Problem, foremost produced in 2015, is named after the hard trouble of consciousness, which Stoppard defines as having " subjective First Person experience. "
