Soy: There is this huge question about how the fundamental experiential stuff turns into our consciousness. And so like it has the illusion of progress by positing experience at the most fundamental level of reality.

It’s the topic voted on by our beloved Patreon patrons, panpsychism! David and Tamler delve into the resurgent debate over whether consciousness is the fundamental stuff that makes up the universe.
