dhw: I share Chalmer’s view that so far every theory sounds incredible. Bottom-up panpsychism is the alternative that I have been defending in our discussions as an alternative to your top-down form. I do not regard dualism as incompatible with either, and I have already offered a hypothesis that reconciles dualism and materialism to a certain degree.

DAVID: What is incredible is that we are consciously here trying to figure out why we are here. All of reality sitting on a base of quantum mechanics which our consciousness tells us is counterfactual. No wonder we struggle to understand it. But we keep struggling because we are driven to find answers.

dhw: For once we are in total agreement! And for ten years, you and I have accompanied each other in the struggle. L’chaim, dear friend!

We shall drive together.
