Closely related, especially given the context of consciousness, one of my favorite stories: "The Egg" (http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html http://www.galactanet.com/oneoff/theegg_mod.html, or if you prefer read by Kurzgesagt: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fcK_fRYaI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6fcK_fRYaI).
- buckminstrix 6y agoReally profound content from a great channel. Another channel with related insightful content is "The School of Life" https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7IcJI8PUf5Z3zKxnZvTBog https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7IcJI8PUf5Z3zKxnZvTBog Panpsychism needs a new name. That word sounds quite alien. But the concept is familiar to humans in their "raw" state. Young children sometimes befriend rocks, elder people sometimes talk to their plants, and some tribes and pre-modern cultures widely believed there was life inside everything. It's a little disappointing the "Wikipedia" article on it does not mention: Australian aborigines, Amazon tribes, Hindus and more.
- Ruphin 6y agoMy favorite version of this story is told throughout Logic's "Everybody" album. I highly recommend it.
- mercer 6y agoPossibly interesting fact: the writer of The Egg also wrote The Martian. Haven't read the book, but the film was great and much funnier than I expected.
