Aspire to be the person.

You're a fun person. Be the person. Yeah, okay. These are good reasons for perhaps why, like, you break up the mind in that way. But they don't tell us how. They tell us why the universe would want to do it. But still, it doesn't carve out the boundaries between why our experiences are different from each other's if we're a part of this big global mind.

This still gives you a good why, like a really strong why. It seems that... the better world is one full of lots of individual subjective experiences, like loads of individual minds, like you say, all able to do lots of different things. I saw this clip of Musk speaking about this recently, right?

And I was quite surprised because in the past I came, I was teaching philosophy of mind at Liverpool and I remember showing them one of these clips and it was of Musk talking about like the origins of consciousness. And I was using it as like, this is like the general public opinion of it. You learn more about the brain. This is like his Neuralink stuff. And you solve the problem.

And we spoke about like how that won't happen. But recently, he came out and said something I thought was really interesting, which is essentially the view we're talking about here, panpsychism, the view that consciousness is everywhere. He said...

Well, in order to have consciousness, there'd need to be some rudimentary consciousness or experience in the inner nature of stuff in order to get complex and interesting kinds like me and you. But in the origin of the world and the Big Bang, it was just hydrogen. So what hydrogen gets more and more complex until it gives rise to consciousness.

And he gave this line, which is essentially where philosophy of mind is right now. He said, either consciousness is nowhere, as in it's just an illusion, it's a trick of the brain, it's pulling a rabbit out of the hat when there's not really a rabbit, or it's everywhere. And I think given that you can hear me and see me now, and this is what Descartes' cogito ergo sum is, right?
