But the problems with existence don’t become more severe because of merging of “existence” and “consciousness” concepts. On the contrary: before we didn’t have any concrete idea of what it would mean to exist or not, but now we can at least use our intuitions about consciousness instead. And, on the other hand, all problematic aspects of consciousness (like surprising certainty about having it) are contained in existence.
Amusingly, I’ve just got from a flight where I put my backpack into my bag, so I could use it for luggage on the return flight^^.
