Well I was talking about the problem of consciousness, I haven't seen you solve it yet. Or maybe you have, just didn't explicitly say it.
Your individual self is what you are individually, it's a psychological thing in a human head. But where is this individual self happening as a first person perspective experience, who or what is having this first person perspective experience? The answer to this probably lies in nondual philosophy. Absolutely vital to any philosophy that claims to be among the best.

It's an emergent attribute of cognitive complexity, but there's no technically correct or specific definition yet. Global Workspace Theory is probably closest, but whatever it ends up being probably won't be much like what's understood today. Remember, neuroscience is only a few decades old.

That's still the individual mind/self, you don't see the other issue, which is also central to philosophy. Well I guess it's not necessary for the instrumentalist skeleton of philosophy that you're working on.

Self is the internal story we tell about how we fit into the world and society. Mind is a metaphor for the patterns in the brain. If you try to integrate all the stuff you'll end up where academic philosophy is - nowhere.
