Philosophers of mind still insist on metaphysical descriptions of consciousness Eventhough there is so much progress in neuroscience that makes it hard to take it seriously anymore. Afaik, most young neuroscientists abstain from these endlessly-goal-shifting discussions. Its a pity too because with recent progress in deep learning there couldnt be a more exciting time to do mind philosophy

Me too. I think since around ~ 2013-15 there are so many management people and corporate drones that this place should no longer be called hacker news. Hackers are not conformists. Just today the groupthink was calling an employee to delete his comment and stop speaking his mind. Old accounts are getting older but they re not being replaced.
