Well, this is just one point that I've, you know, you know, in your book, Why, and I've talked about a lot how consciousness being the one thing that's not publicly observable. And so we don't fully know what the conscious experience of, for example, a sheep, a dolphin, an octopus is. you know, definitely a mantis shrimp who has 13 variations or cones of colors, right?

So I don't want to interrupt too much, but it's interesting.

Yeah, I think on the path and pursuit of truth, anyone has to honestly ask themselves what is it they truly know versus what are beliefs, presumptions, and exploring the nature of reality. Consciousness is the one thing we're truly intimate with. It's like the one thing that I can actually be certain of in this moment is that I am, that I exist, that I am having an experience.

And many of the things that we seem or claim to know in our external reality are really our relation to it is separate in the sense of I have an icon or an image or a projection of you inside of myself. And so it is interesting that consciousness is the one thing not publicly observable. And on the flip side, the one thing that we have direct access to.

It certainly feels that way in deepening in different contemplative practices, which I'm excited to get your opinion on. But I would love for you to address the issue of the combination problem or how we think about how if matter arises from mind as opposed to mind arising from matter, which is the

kind of pervasive materialistic view that consciousness and humans at the very least is spawned from varieties of unconscious complexities building. And we turn that knob enough and we have a subjective experience called us and we can get into the hard problem of why that could even be. But if mind and consciousness is the fundamental substrate of reality,

And as you say, a very, very simple form of consciousness could be present in a quark. How would that translate and scale from that experience to the rich inner life of a human being?
