metaphysically, I have a panpsychic perspective. I think there's no mystery to human consciousness, but that in the manner of Liebnitz's monads all matter has an awareness of being itself. That matter, organised in different forms, has an awareness of what its like to be in that form. And that human consciousness is just what matter feels like being human. That the universe has a consciousness of what it feels like to be the universe. But that panpsychism is actually a materialist philosophy and is compatible with science. The electric universe garble garble is not. It makes strong claims, scientific claims, which can be tested against observations. And those claims are false. What it claims about the evidence is false. What it claims about the math is wrong. What it claims about what other scientists are actually saying is false. It is crank science. Its wishful thinking and ignorance playing at being science.
