Any other animists here? I just feel that whenever I’m out in nature that everything around me has a soul. I feel connected to the trees and the grass that I lay on.Hoffman's User-Interface Theory where ‘fitness beats truth’ stipulates that our senses do not faithfully represent our reality (seriously look into it, it’s a short essay)Consciousness is however a fact and rudimentary units of consciousness that form larger and more complex networks
P1: There is no spiritual plane or disembodied soul; everything that exists is material.P2: Consciousness is irreducible to lower-level physical properties.P3: Consciousness exists.P4: Higher-order properties of matter (i.e., emergent properties) can, at least in principle, be reduced to their lower-level properties.Before the first premise is accepted, the range of possible explanations for consciousness is fully open. Each premise, if accepted, narrows down that range of possibilities. If the argument is sound, then by the last premise panpsychism is the only possibility left.If (P1) is true, then either consciousness does not exist, or it exists within the physical world.If (P2) is true, then either consciousness does not exist, or it (a) exists as distinct property of matter or (b) is fundamentally entailed by matter.If (P3) is true, then consciousness exists, and is either (a) its own property of matter or (b) composed by the matter of the brain but not logically entailed by it.If (P4) is true, then (b) is false, and consciousness must be its own unique property of matter.Therefore, if all four premises are true, consciousness is its own unique property of matter and panpsychism is true
