I like the perspective shift that consciousness is the only thing that we know, from direct experience is real, the existence of the physical world is something we only infer via conscious experience. what I like about this is that when trying to understand how consciousness arises from matter, we need to keep in mind we don’t really know what matter is, we only know some things about how it behaves, we have a mental model of matter, we only know that model. So ideas that seem woo woo nonsense, is a rock conscious?, does matter arise from consciousness not the other way around, are in-fact no less woo woo than the bold assumption that consciousness must arise from matter
