Episode notes

At five dollars an up, you get to vote on an episode topic. At ten dollars enough, you get the ask us anything, video segments. And so far we've answered every single question asked of us. Let's talk about panpsychism. This is the most requested topic from our patrion supporters. We were going to do an episode on pansychis wything. But i guess, just very briefly, panpsychism is the view that hfundamental entities of reality are mental or ar conscious in some way. The only thing we know that we can't deny, is the fact that we have consciousness.

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. We hoped we might be entering Miyazaki land - river spirits, benevolent radishes, a universal mind. But is this just the same old philosophy of mind debate with different words? Are there any stakes to this debate or is it purely terminological? Plus – we answer some last-minute questions from listeners on dissertations, Ukraine, pseudoscience, and the music from "The Shield."
