And maybe not, science hasn't gotten there yet. Science is way better than woo at achieving understanding of the universe and its behavior at all scales.
> For example, suppose we discover scientifically that a certain form of brain activity is correlated with the conscious experience of an organism. The physicalist will interpret this as the form of organisation which turns non-conscious physical processes – such as electrical signals between brain cells – into conscious experience, whereas the panpsychist will interpret it as the form of organisation which unifies individual conscious particles into one larger conscious system. Thus we find two very different philosophical interpretations of the same scientific data.
If we can’t work out which view is right with an experiment, how can we choose between them?
Someone with more depth will explain to me why these views can't both be valid at the same time.
