agree - there is so much ego around when things like this are discussed. It is very frustrating.

  I mean, this ego might be warranted to some degree. At least (and I don’t know if you would call this an ego-driven argument), consciousness is something I can be sure definitely exists, considering that anything one could call “reality” is only accessible via consciousness (and obviously tainted and possibly constructed to an unknowable extent by it). So, I understand the reluctance to accept a philosophical position that downgrades consciousness to something illusory, as physicalist positions tend to. (If that’s what the comment I responded to expressed, then I’m the same in that regard.) I just think that it’s easy to miss the availability of non-dualist takes that don’t require such a downgrade, and unless I missed something (am yet to read it carefully) this article doesn’t seem to require it either, which would be refreshing.

    I was agreeing with you.
