    I can see you're having trouble with a very simple question. You are a conscious being. Doubting that you're conscious is silly and nonsensical and just serves to illustrate the absurdity of physicalism/materialism. It's like that one materialist I was talking to here who couldn't grok "what is it like to be me?" Seriously? Maybe focus less on mockery and more on shoring up your core beliefs.

    I'm only having trouble with a very simple-minded questioner who either cannot recognize I've already answered his trivial questions or is just trolling me. Go away.

    If you have a thesis you think opposes another, state what that is.
    Badgering other people to answer leading questions is juvenile.

    My thesis couldn't be simpler: it's silly, nonsensical, and counterproductive to doubt one's own consciousness. Do you think you might not be conscious, Valentinus? Are you a P-zombie???
    (no)

    Valentinus smiled. Without knowing he opened his mouth and with gut hunger he devowered. Pure-zombie tears left his bloodshed eyes which blurred his P-zombie vision. His zombiedondy bud opened while stumbling away in searh for next fresh flesh. To leave a message: no shit?

    No, seriously. The hard consciousness problem. How can it be solved by matter and information only?

    It is pleasant to be cast in exciting movies that I will never appear in. I appreciate the attention.
    I have no idea what you are talking about, however.
    I meant to discourage rude behavior and now I am in a Fellini movie, riding with others in a car, wondering what the other passengers are on.

    "Do you think it's possible you're not conscious when you're replying to people?" is a "leading question"? Lol.
