Still undecided on panpsychism but i'm a big fan of Philip. Been really interesting to see his exchanges with Sean Carroll too. Great episode :),(reply>), @zack whitehead $$$,(reply>), @zack whitehead you’re not a materialist. You’re just a truthful person who doesn’t believe this pseudo intellectual bs. Everything u said is correct and it doesn’t take a genius to acknowledge that panpsychism is bs,(reply>), @zack whitehead that's a different question though. May be it's personality issues. There are people who understands and able to communicate that thought in an articulate way (e.g., sam Harris, Rupert Sheldrake, Dan dannet, Sean Carroll etc.), where some struggles (slavo zizek :P with no disrespect to his merit ). May be Philip falls under the second category. But I found his writings are better (not saying it's convincing) than his in person arguments.,(reply>), @Junaid Hassan for sure, I'm more interested why someone would basically play devils advocate for a living, I'm not totally convinced that he understands his own arguments lack of rigor.,(reply>), @zack whitehead you are totally right. I was not defending panpsychism neither arguing against materialism. I was speaking ontologically how such claims (Philips view) can even be considered at the first place. And to consider his position I find it more helpful to start with rational school of philosophy (i.e., Descartes, Leibniz, Spinoza) rather than starting from Philip's point.
