I had an discussion on the consciousness subreddit.

I made the argument than consciousness can't be illusion, for every illusion needs consciousness as a witness to appear in.

One counter argument I had no answer for was:

What if there is no permanent metaphysical witness, just awareness wich arises alongside experience?

That sounds like what Buddhism say, that awareness and experience are co-dependent and can't arise without each other, no permanent consciousness in the background.

The only answer for this problem, wich came to my mind, was a vague continuity issue. But I am not sold to it and now Im thinking about wich is true. Do you have an answer?
