Pretty difficult but manageable.
Keep in mind that I'm not a native speaker, though.
It might come easier to you.

I'll try to dumb myself down from now on so you can keep up.

Are you going to read any of the responses? I noticed Nagel was critical.

Not in depth yet, just some quotes here and there. I was unimpressed by Nagel's approach to the topic and thought Dennett was much more on point. Might be biased though, knowing Nagel only through the lense of Dennett's criticism.
I know you love Nagel but then again some of the stuff you wrote about consciousness here sounded quite silly to me.

Don't stone me to death for blaspheming against your little obscurantist buddy.
After all, those stones might posses consciousness and suffer from that lol

Never heard of it.
Can't say the descriptions I googled sound particularly enticing to me.
