Our star is the major, "central" (chuckle) factor in our Goldilocks existence, but Anthropomorphism is an anthropocentric game. [1]
Cyanobacteria [2] , flowering plants and pollinators would also be part of our complex Goldilocks consciousness.
Our awareness of this fragile existence should encourage us to be the best version of ourselves and enjoy every moment.

- heresie-dabord 3y agoTitle of the article: Is the Sun Conscious? In the article: "Therefore anyone who supposes that the sun is conscious is making a childish error, projecting anthropomorphic illusions onto inanimate nature."
- namaria 3y agoFair, the article made a reference to it. In the first paragraph where the author is clearly making a representation of a contrary argument. A paragraph that starts "s the sun conscious? Obviously not, from the point of view of mechanistic materialism or physicalism". So I see now why you'd raise that point. Still, it is a minor throwaway figure of speech that doesn't really encapsulate what the author is discussing further in the article.
