A question for panpsychists (and others too)

Is the mind the same as the body? What is consciousness? Can machines have it?

A question for panpsychists (and others too)

Post by dogbert »

As a panpsychist I believe that the rarity and privilege of my experiential transformation from typical matter into a human is literally unimaginable. In fact, I think my miraculous existential fortune should be justified by something other than "it just is that way". My question is what you think this justification might possibly be, or why you think "it just is that way" suffices.

Since the Universe, Itself, is eternal, and that 'this' is the only way that this could be, then 'it is just the way it is' suffices because there could not possibly be any other way, then 'the way' that 'It' is right HERE, right NOW.

And, if anyone wants to assume or believe that how things are HERE-NOW could be any different, then let 'us' have a discussion.

Also, the human body has not transformed from so-called 'typical matter' into the human body. The human body is just made up of 'matter', itself.

There is no 'typical' nor 'non typical' matter. There is only 'matter', itself. Which the Universe, Itself is fundamentally made up of, and of course a distance between and around matter, itself, only.
