ash spidersone day in the future panpsychism will be seen as so obviously correct among the scientific that everyone will look back at this time like its the dark ages of the study of conciousness
"i won't consider such a theory, it's too subjective and unscientific" says some cognitive scientists, that is to say, guys who literally STUDY SUBJECTIVITY??
like i get not everyone is spicy enough like me to be an animist but panpsychism, for ppl who have confined themselves to a "scientific rational worldview" (whatever) , is just so elegant and obviously true. what is more likely, that conciousness is this bizarre super rare thing that you need neurons, and only neurons in the right way to experience, and nobody can ever figure out what it is or even adequately define it, or that conciousness is just what it is to be, and the shape of being determines how the conciousness feels "on the inside"?
what is more likely, that every body in the universe moves in bizarre extremely convoluted twisty orbits around a geocentric earth? or that everything moves in elegant elipsoids and parabolas and hyperbolas?
