> This was the problem I mentioned earlier on. If you genuinely doubt whether consciousness exists, we cannot discuss panpsychism or the ideas I am trying to extrapolate from the theory. But let me reassure you that your always highly intelligent and probing questions suggest to me that you are not only aware of things around you, but you are even aware of the thoughts in your own mind. I suspect you are even conscious of the fact that you are doubting whether you are conscious.-Funnily enough I too think I am highly intelligent - it's a curse but someone has to bear it -That I am aware of my thoughts does not mean I have to believe hook, line and sinker there is an intrinsic me or that I can perceive thought mean it is consciousness.
