Ben: I'm a panpsychist ... You think that all things are sentient/ conscious?
(I argue that consciousness depends on having a nervous system and being able to feel - and if we could understand the mechanics of that, we would probably have solved the hard problem and be able to give something similar to a machine (which might have to be organic) ).
So I'm interested in any alternative/panpsychist views. If you do think that inorganic things like stones, say, are conscious, then surely it would follow, that we should ultimately be able to explain their consciousness, and make even inanimate metallic computers conscious?
Care to expand a little on your views?
