This view is a bit closed-minded, if you ask me. You may also find that exploring those questions reveals something that you could never have imagined beforehand. You may end up finding out that consciousness is not the illusion, but everything else we perceive is.

Maybe there is more to find. History suggests otherwise though, so I'm not optimistic and continue default to non-existence, per Russel's teapot.
