“But if dreams teach us anything, it may be that the observer will not be found by science as another object in the world. It may only be recognized through the experience of being aware.”

Does panpsychism bring clarity or confusion to our understanding of consciousness? In this piece for @IAI_TV , I argue that it inverts the physicalist problems and then adds more problems of its own!!

Your brain is incredible at pattern recognition...but once you see a pattern, it becomes incredibly hard to "unsee" it.

You become trapped in your own mental models.
The frame becomes a prison.

This reveals something crucial:
The art of systematically breaking patterns to see reality anew.

You need practical techniques to disrupt your normal patterns of thinking.

Panpsychism has grown in popularity, and many now see it as the leading answer to the hard problem of consciousness. | https://t.co/TXeIiCYeBZ

But @TonySobrado argues panpsychism does not solve the hard problem of consciousness, but only inverts and multiplies the problems of consciousness.

Attention is the most fundamental process in our brains, argues neuroscientist Michael Graziano. | https://t.co/S0IRKHEec7

In this article, he claims subjective experience arises when the brain attends to its own attention in order to control it, like an artist painting a picture of themselves painting pictures.
