"i think therefore I am." the one truth that can't be disputed.I mainly meant the understanding of conciousness, whether it is a dualistic entity somewhere or just an illusion or whatever. As far as I know, anyone's guess is as good as anyone else's, but what evidence there is (or isn't) seems to point towards conciousness being an illusion, to me at least. I'm far from an expert so feel free to fill my gaps
I think I agree for a change, in the sense that consciousness is defined as that which we experience and consequently call consciousness. It's not an illusion by definition.
