Dave Chalmers appears to hold that consciousness is distinct from the
physical properties of human beings and that it doesn't cause anything
physical to happen. In particular, it has no consequences for
psychological phenomena that can be fully explicated behaviorally, such
as belief.
This view (if he holds it) is puzzling, since it seems to imply that our
belief and our assertions that we are conscious are not causally linked
to the fact that we are conscious. What am I missing?
