A comment on Consciousness is not computation. Parent comment

I'd say "I am having a subjective experience" is tautological - "subjective experience" are simply words we use to describe the state of being conscious.

Though I'd agree much (most?) of it is made up of very strong illusions.

Please read the comment I replied to. That should clear things up.

Not illusions. A narrative.
