If consciousness is the only thing that isn't an illusion.

And upon death we lose consciousness.
Why do people care about the future after your death?

There is no evidence to believe that consciousness is not an illusion as well.

I think consciousness isn't an illusion.
Everything is ultimately physical, that includes this text, your empirical senses, your thoughts, etc.
Things don't change when you die, you just stop living but the lights won't go out and the show won't stop.
That's how I perceive it anyway.

They only thing you are is consciousness. It's the only thing there is. When consciousness stops everything stops. The universe ends.

Regarding the afterlife, the issue isn't so much whether consciousness is an illusion or not but whether this potential illusion requires particular neuronal activity.

While the former is hotly contested, the latter is strongly established. Every single discipline in science and philosophy that addresses that issue nearly unanimously agrees with. You'd be on par with flat earthers, if not worse, to deny that our mental states are causally linked with neurophysiological ones. It'd be foolish of me to bluff here as all this info is readily available online.

Because this strongly implies (though nothing can technically prove) that human mental states are not present without neurophysiological activity, the burden of proof is transferred to those who claim otherwise. It should be somewhat telling that the most common argument posited is our lack of definitive proof.

It would make absolutely no sense whatsoever to claim that we have to outright prove it before the burden of proof is transferred. All we have to do is credibly suggest it, which we've done way more than enough of.
