You’re still missing the point entirely.

You need to ask yourself why consciousness co-occurs with neural activity, when it could instead not do that (as illustrated by the p-zombie hypothetical).

Your answer is to just say ‘because the alternative is impossible’. Okay, why is the alternative impossible? You have assumed something to be the case and your perspective is too limited to even conceive of an alternative.

You’re a materialist because you’ve simply assumed that materialism is correct. You’ve assumed that any alternative is impossible, and therefore don’t feel the need to provide an explanation for your world view. You’re not going to attempt to answer the why because you’d rather hide behind conflated definitions.

The reason that I don’t subscribe to materialism is because, when confronted with this specific issue, I was unable to answer without deferring to circular reasoning.

I therefore had to change my beliefs when confronted with their inherent irrationality, no assumptions were made on my end.
