Consciousness doesn't exist ergo idealism is false

Russell is the last great philosopher. After him science rightfully replaced philosophy.

Wrong.

i'm fucking tired of delusional, arrogant qualiapypo systematically oppressing us, thinking that we aren't human and don't belong, acting as if we're "morally worthless" and it's okay to shoot us.

The science is settled, qualiaism is wrong and anti-science, yet you bigots keep saying that the color red is somehow more than just a wave on the electromagnetic spectrum, you're all disgustingly misinformed.

We're gonna demolish statues of the founding fathers of "consciousness" like Plato, Marcus Aurelius and Jesus, we're gonna arrest all qualiapypo who say the N word, N**, we're gonna teach your kids CRT (Critical Reductionist Theory). Brace yourselves qualiabois, your privilege is coming to an end.

Are there any substantial arguments against physicalism? Qualia, although essentially irremovable as an argument against physicalism until cognitive science progresses, seem like one of the last convoluted vestiges of dualism which ultimately hold no real weight of their own if one were to accept them, since the condition of their existence means they are unable to be investigated. Is there hope for the divine spark of consciousness bros? Anybody have recent literature which attempts to refute physicalism?

Binary notions of consciousness no longer make sense after Dennett destroyed them with this book.

And science still answers nothing about consciousness, what it is, how it's created, how does it have identity, how does it have continuity even though the atoms in our brain aren't continuous, how it even exists, why can't it be understood by a non-conscious being

Yet redditors and Reddit philosophers are adamant that science explains consciousness, what retarded shit is this? What the fuck is their reasoning?

I went in reading it to deboonk it and now I'm convinced we're all bug men tricked by cognitive slight of hand into thinking we aren't just bug men.

Help.

This is our generation's Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, God Delusion, Godel Escher Bach, The Selfish Gene, A Brief History of Time, The Road to Reality, The Ego and Its Own, Thus Spoke Zarathustra, and On the Origin of Species all rolled into one.

I’m in awe of its erudite dismantling and reconstruction of the whole explanatory narrative of consciousness we have wrongly construed up to this point. the precision with which it obviates the archaisms of christian morals and metaphysics makes its staggering critiques of such systems definitive and final. its unprecedented execution of evolutionary-grounded epistemology is unparalleled in accuracy and profundity. it is a physicalist triumph and tour de force which puts all immaterialist accounts of existence squarely in the garbage bin.

I need to buy more copies of it and send them to my co-workers, leave them ostensibly forgotten upon subway seats, and nested in the mailboxes of unsuspecting theologians.
