So, you'd rather posit some mystical juju that makes matter gain consciousness, that somehow magically only happens to humans, and happens to matter when humans eat it, but yet is totally undetectable?
- kamaal 8y agoNo I guess the parent's point is consciousness is inherent to all things. But it's just that it needs some minimal amount of biological configuration for it to manifest in a way that is meaningfully observable. Which explain things like eating food(above minimal configuration) and death(Some cells die, failing the minimal configuration criteria).
- visarga 8y agoNot all matter has to fend for itself in the environment. This constraint leads to evolution and consciousness. It's not magical, just self replicating.
