Which is not a great loss in itself, as panpsychism is a useless theory that offers no insight into the working of consciousness, nor evidence or experiments to gather it.
It's not much more than a philosophical fantasy tale.
- llamaimperative 2y agoPeople said the same thing about plate tectonics. The boundary of what is testable has always been moving and it’s honestly a little astounding that this isn’t obvious to everyone making this argument.
- ASalazarMX 2y agoPlate tectonics provided evidence and made predictions which can be tested. The pseudoscience of panpsychism can't provide evidence, nor experiments to prove or falsify it. Saying that everything is conscious is a huge claim, it can't be accepted just for the goodness of our hearts.
