These are ancient ideas. Maybe this century will validate some of those.
- r2_pilot 2y agoIf you're looking for a specific word: umwelt.
- hosh 2y agoI know that word, and it is one way of describing what I was talking about, but it is not what I meant. My actual worldview is a superset of "all living beings are conscious". For example, I don't necessarily think that consciousness emerges from biology or complex interaction of matter. Umwelt is a good step outside of anthropocentric view of consciousness and the world though.
- rrgok 2y agoNeither I believe that consciousness emerges from biology or other things. I believe it is the other way around: it is from consciousness that emerges everything. Sadly, we somehow confuse consciousness with the identity or individuality (ego). I believe the ego is just one modality (or subset) of consciousness.
