> irreducibility of subjectivity?

If that means nothing to you, then I suggest you read some more philosophy of mind to understand why subjectivity is a real problem for eliminativist theories.

> consciousness is the epistemic ground of all knowledge and experience

Fortunately not!

> Dennett's arguments are not taken seriously in many academic philosophical circles.

Haha, I don't know what bubble you live in, but the majority of philosophers are physicalists. See the survey done a few years ago:

https://philpapers.org/surveys/results.pl

In fact, nearly every single one of Dennett's positions are held by the majority of philosophers, ie. physicalism, Compatibilism, realism. So much for Dennett not being taken seriously.

Philosophers should use modus ponens more often.

If physicalism implies consciousness is an illusion, and that is an absurd conclusion, then a better hypothesis is physicalism is false.

It doesn't seem the survey takers are big on logical consistency. Physicalism is inconsistent with Platonism, yet both are majority positions.
