I don't completely agree - I think there are more direct ways to demolish the 'Hard Problem' of consciousness, and I don't accept that 'eliminative materialism' need mean that qualia don't exist - what it means is that common beliefs about things such as qualia are wrong. 'Illusion' doesn't mean something doesn't exist - it can also mean that what we think about something is mistaken.
