This is tiresome.

This is tiresome. It's no different than going to sleep. Or indeed, one moment of consciousness to the next. You've no way to tell if your consciousness is being paused, disassembled, and reassembled every second. I know this won't persuade anyone that's already decided. This issue won't get "settled" until we actually understand the mechanics of consciousness. AFAIK, no one has any real good descriptions of what's going on. Hell, some are still supporting dualist views.
