There is the morality angle, the feeling that one must be dismissing the moral relevance of suffering if suffering is not actually experienced, but the far more common objection is about foundational truth. For that reason I think beating around the bush will probably lead to misunderstanding; if consciousness is accepted in any sense, then surely part of what is accepted is that knowledge of direct experience supercedes all other beliefs in terms of truthfulness and cannot be denied? Surely it is still from this that all other beliefs inherit their truthfulness? But no, I am rejecting this hierarchy, it’s a tautology based on a false intuition. Even though I laid it out plainly, there are multiple responses here that seem to assume that I must not have even meant quite what I said.
