“The paradox is a consequence of the facts that (1) The physical domain is causally closed; (2) Judgments about consciousness are logically supervenient on the physical; (3) Consciousness is not logically supervenient on the physical; and (4) We know we are conscious. From (1) and (2) it follows that judgments about consciousness can be reductively explained. In combination with (3), this implies that consciousness is explanatorily irrelevant to our judgments, which lies in tension with (4). Thus we have the paradox. One might try to escape the paradox by denying any one of these premises”
