If someone disagrees with that, then by “consciousness” they mean something other than what I mean by it.
I’m talking about the fact of experience. That there’s something it is like to be.
It undoubtedly is like something to be whatever “me” is. That couldn’t possibly be an illusion, because an illusion is an experience in itself and thus just further proof of consciousness. Everything I’m observing might be fake but the fact that it’s like something to be the observer is not.
