: YOU SAID :Then you concede that your destruction would not be an illusion.

:
: No one suggested that their (own) existence is illusory, that would be crazy! You can’t question you own existence!! It’s impossible (See Descartes Meditations).

Why?

The only suggestion that was made was that it is logically possible that the external world is illusory.

I am sayuing that if my internal world can be seriously altered by an illusory external one then I must be an illusion also.

And it is perfectly reasonable to suppose that even if the car, and the bridge are illusory, the pain is not! Because the pain that one would experience is in that person's mind, and thus irrelevant to the external world.

If some event in an illusory external world can extinguish my internal one either I am an illusion also or the external one is not.

So to answer you question, NO, I do not concede that my destruction would be an illusion, nor would the pain!
