This is as well-argued a case for illusionism as I can imagine. And it shows how hopeless the case is. The argument is, in a nutshell, “Consciousness seems to imply a soul, but there’s really nothing but brain; therefore consciousness is nothing but brain.” It attempts to resolve the hard problem by ignoring the elements that make it hard. Something inside each of us is experiencing our perceptions, thoughts, feelings, and memories. Nothing suggests that matter produces experience. Therefore the ability to experience truly is mysterious. If some part of consciousness is illusion, who or what is being duped by the illusion?
