Exploring the Panpsychist View on Consciousness.
43:40 - 53:35 (09:54)
The panpsychist view suggests that fundamental forms of consciousness exist at the level of particles that make up the brain, but not necessarily at the emergent level of tables and rocks.

The hypothesis that the qualities of experience are the intrinsic nature of matter is a simple and elegant way of integrating consciousness into scientific explanations, without introducing dualism.

Summary
The hypothesis that the qualities of experience are the intrinsic nature of matter is a simple and elegant way of integrating consciousness into scientific explanations, without introducing dualism. Fundamental particles are proposed to have a simple form of internal consciousness, but this should not be interpreted dualistically.

Summary
This podcast discusses the concept that everything in the physical world, from mass to spin to charge, is a form of consciousness. The intrinsic nature of brain states is also explored, with the argument being made that everything is ultimately made up of consciousness.

Some physicists believe that the fundamental entities are universe wide fields and particles are local excitations of those fields.

Summary
Some physicists believe that the fundamental entities are universe wide fields and particles are local excitations of those fields. Thus, if we interpret it in a panpsychist way, the universe wide fields are the fundamental forms of consciousness.

Philosopher David Chalmers explains the panpsychist theory which seeks to account for consciousness in terms of the consciousness of the particles that make up the human brain, and the challenges it poses in terms of the combination problem.
