   A part of me wonders if the scientific worldview will eventually lead to panpsychism coming back into vogue. It seems like a natural evolution of assuming consciousness is an emergent property, so asserting matter has some inherent potential to be conscious would be reasonable. Being an illusionist about consciousness might bypass this issue, though I think it still leaves the question of why unconscious matter would impute the experience of consciousness on unconscious matter -- even this objection might be begging the question by assuming the prior appearance of consciousness is a prerequisite for imputation of consciousness idk
