They let you search by license too, so you can search just for free to use stuff (obviously the selection is less but for most generic concepts it'd be just fine)

I think you can say something like "we feel like we're aware of more than we are", but I don't know much work that does to reduce the question of "how/why is there awareness at all"

Hmm, I think I understand what you're saying but it's not fundamentally resolving the issue for me

This feels a bit like what meditation is trying to achieve. But I think the fact that there is something that can be "lost" when meditating shows it was there to begin with (similar to how people use a contrast with dreamless sleep to define what consciousness is)

Ok maybe you're squishing what I'd call consciousness into that "awareness of thought etc" but there is still something there

I, like others, would define an illusion as a difference between ground truth and my perception. But when my only claim is "it feels like something to be me" there isn't a ground truth you can point to.
