I think it’s rather absurd that the hard problem made you… become a Christian, of all things. What a non sequitur! I’ve always thought panpsychism was the obvious solution. Consciousness is just what information processing feels like from the inside.
Something like panpsychism would also satisfy his requirement of neither the physical nor the mental being more fundamental. But there is currently no such scientific theory. It would be a physico-mental theory, which means the physical theory would also contain mental terms as primitives, similar to mass or force.
