It talks in points to how our capacity for exploring physics has gone to realms that only used to be accessible to philosophers, right? And so, yeah, I just look at all the different ways in which we have our ability to probe reality, to understand it deeper. Before we fully move on from that last point,

I loved, you know, in my couple conversations with Don Hoffman, who, you know, you're friends with and have been in discussion with, his understanding of how fitness beats truth and how our sensory systems have been shaped to maximize survival, but not to actually see reality as it is.

And I'm curious, as somebody who really thinks and is so philosophically minded about understanding reality, and I see your earnest desire to do so, how do you think our sensory systems misguide our intuitions about the true nature of reality?

I'm looking forward to excavating that area more for sure. And your explorations more recently into the quantum world and the many worlds theory and all of that. But before we get too ahead of ourselves,

One of the fundamental, and I think of Kurt Gödel in this time of also the Vienna Circle and his incompleteness theorem and understanding how our initial presumptions and assumptions and any theorem, like there's those inherent limitations, right?

And so trying to explain reality supposedly through the mechanistic lens excludes, as you've eloquently shared, many different possibilities about the true nature of consciousness. And so you have been one of the most well-known panpsychists and viewers of consciousness from that perspective. And I think it's really important to not just assume everybody understands what that entails.

And so could you share your definition of what panpsychist view is and your view on consciousness?
