[QUOTE="FrumiousBandersnatch, post: 74721595, member: 241055"] I think the reification of consciousness as a mysterious attribute of matter or reality is a red-herring (it sounds like a hang-over from dualism). As I see it, the evidence points to consciousness being a particular type of process that brains perform; i.e. it's information processing. The more complex and sophisticated the brain, the richer the consciousness appears to be. If you interfere with a conscious brain, you interfere with consciousness; creatures with very simple brains or no brains at all have no discernible signs of consciousness, and so-on. Panpsychism raises far more questions than it purports to answer but doesn't actually explain consciousness. I summarized my views on it in [URL='https://www.christianforums.com/threads/pnpscyhism.8145382/#post-74637761']an earlier post[/URL]. [/QUOTE]
