Normally life and consciousness were considered to be spiritual things. By claiming they are states of matter, the author seems to be stating matter is all there is to existence. This is a huge assumption. It's very speculative to claim life and consciousness can be reduced to matter, with no evidence to back it up to date.

- yters 8y agoNo, exactly the opposite. All scientific evidence we have is filtered through the first person perspective. The most directly evident view is that consciousness is primary and matter is secondary.
