Continuity of consciousness is a meaningful concept that doesn't require any essentialism about the self, this train of thought is ridiculous. Nothing can be an illusion to nothing, therefore the mere concept of "consciousness being an illusion" is self contradictory nonsense

That's an equivocation over the meaning of the word conscious, or at least there's no evidence to conflate the two, and even if they were the same it would only prove that nature is indifferent to consciousness as a phenomenon and doesn't care if you die every night. Is ought.

Like in film, there's limited continuity from one frame to the next; that's what creates dynamism; but each frame occupies the same position in the aperture when it plays. There is mechanical identity between each frame in terms of how it is projected. There is a unity there.

If you're right, then my ideas would be harmless to implement. If I'm right, your ideas would not be harmless to implement.
