eliminativism (qualia are just a kind of physical process, not a different essence or property existing separate from physical reality)
That sounds like a definition of physicalism in general rather than eliminativism specifically?
I agree with the analogies in Tim’s comment. As he says, the idea is that eliminativism says all physical processes are kind of on the same footing as far as not containing (the philosophically laden version of) consciousness. So it’s more plausible we’d treat all physical processes as in the same boat rather than drawing sharp dividing lines.
Thanks for the question. :)
