Do you also think the 30% of philosophers who also have this stance simply don't understand it? The only one calling anyone a moron here is you, and I don't think anyone involved in this discussion actually is. It's a cheap trick to discredit an opinion you disagree with.

Almost none of those philosophers accuse proponents of the hard problem of consciousness with dabbling in mysticism.

You equated people that find consciousness hard with people being scared of the conclusions. You are essentially saying that those people are not intellectually strong as you.
They don't try to understand hard problem of consciousness and just try to strawman the whole thing down by tying it to mysticism.
Physicists like Penrose are not morons.

I seriously doubt Westworld writers were aware of the hard problem of consciousness.
