Consciousness is a miracle. If you reply, "Consciousness is an illusion; I'm really a machine that simulates consciousness," then you are contradicting yourself by asserting that there is an "I".
Consciousness is not an illusion. I am a machine that
achieves consciousness. Consciousness is the work-product of my brain. You are committing
the fallacy of composition if you think that consciousness must be something that's "injected into" a machine. Consciousness is an emergent property of a functioning brain in a functioning human body. It's really much simpler than you're trying to make it. Just drop that fallacy and everything falls into place.
