Illusionification

The act of explaining away any phenomenon that challenges a materialist or scientistic worldview as “illusion.” Consciousness is an illusion, free will is an illusion, meaning is an illusion, the self is an illusion. Illusionification is common in reductionist neuroscience and some forms of Buddhism (misappropriated). It treats the manifest image of everyday life as systematically deceptive, while claiming that the scientific image is the only true one. Critics argue that illusionification is self‑refuting: if all beliefs are illusions, then the belief in illusionification is also an illusion. It also fails to explain why evolution would have built such systematically false experiences.

Illusionification Example: “The illusionifier declared that ‘consciousness is an illusion.’ When asked who is experiencing the illusion, he had no answer. The claim eats its own tail.”
