Sure (though personally I think it’s more that metaphysical concepts are just built incorrigibly into our experience). Panpsychism is a weird place to end up but I get why people visit, at least.
I’m going to be real here: Goff has a dumb brain
The irony here is hilarious. I guess he didn’t get the memo about panpsychism? 😂
Goff is pissing me off again. It’s like he’s (un)intelligently designed to misinform the public and not engage with the philosophical tradition. Can he answer the question? I don’t think so. This is what happens to analytic philosophers when they go narrow
Stipulative Definition: Mental is everything that is information. Everything that creates information or uses it to be instantiated is a mental process. #Mind#Information#Value#Interaction#Informationmonism#Measurementmonism#Panpsychism#Philosophy
Materialism asserts that everything is matter. There is undoubtedly consciousness. According to materialism, this is matter, and since consciousness is matter, consciousness and matter are essentially nothing different. Is materialism, strictly speaking, ultimately a confirmation of panpsychism?
Have you heard of panpsychism? Theoretically, if we're looking for *where* consciousness could reside without dualism, then atoms themselves may contain a tiny amount, which becomes more complex as atoms join together. It accounts for all animals being sentient but implies that rocks are, too.
PS: my issue with panpsychism, for instance, is not its lack of refutability but that is does not give us ANY good questions. It is a passive philosophical view without much heuristic potential (in the way in which its current proponents have been promoting it): www.researchgate.net/publication/...

He’s also got chronic analytic brain so he thinks he’s solved his explanatory regress panpsychism introduced because it didn’t explain the causal relation and doesn’t explain why everything is mind by introducing another explanation that doesn’t explain and pushes back the regress one more step.
