There's a 40% chance panpsychism wins the memetic tournament.
Strengths:
Robust versions of panpsychism are plausible.
There’s momentum in academia.
There’s a market for alternatives to physicalism among laypeople.
Weaknesses:
Scientism dominates the intellectual climate, and physicalism benefits from that by default.
Panpsychism is closer to physicalism than most people think, so there’s a chance its merits get absorbed by physicalism.
Panpsychism could be false.
Gotta get rid of the woos.
If panpsychism was a racing horse what do you think would be its betting odds in the memetic tournament? 🐎🏁
