Is consciousness just an illusion?

You have no richness, It's all headspace with you. You can't even acknowledge that what I wrote describes you perfectly as well as that other puppet poster. Most people with any common sense and "innate" intelligence, something you lack, would see that you are just operating from the sense of self-superiority and boring ass pseudo academia.   Most of what you write is rhetorical bullsh!t and pretends to tell much, when in fact it tells little. Perhaps what you really need to do is reevaluate yourself. I won't be holding my breath though.
