From what I read about the implicate order, it sounds very much like Taoism. The difference to me is that the Tao is metaphysics while Bohm claims the implicate order is physical reality. — T Clark
Think of it as a Universal Mind (an ocean) with Individual Minds (waves in the ocean). Of course, A Hologram with everything existing everywhere is another equivalent way of imaging it. — MondoR
You can start somewhere, and if you are curious enough about three subject, you keep searching, and not just in books. — MondoR
Why are you worried about where I start? — James Riley
So, when did the rock become conscious? — T Clark
What would it remember? — T Clark
Was it conscious all the time, first as magma, then as lava, then as igneous rock, then as individual particles, then as sedimentary rock, then as broken stone? — T Clark
Of what use is there in calling the rock conscious? — T Clark
You certainly have changed the meaning of the word entirely. — T Clark
Start where you want. I answered you the best I can. — MondoR
Side bar digression: When breaking rocks for a construction project one time, I got to thinking about all this and wondered if I was somehow disrespecting the rocks. That night I had a dream. The rocks were telling me, laughing, that they enjoyed the activity. They were all on their way from the Rocky Mountains to the Gulf of Mexico and they were glad to watch me work. — James Riley
Physicalism is the view that every puzzle can be explained in the terms used by physicist. — Banno
a thriller window-dressing as science fiction. — 180 Proof
If everything is mind, what's the mechanism by which it manifests illusions to fool its individual selves that, say, there is more-than-mind (e.g. mass, light, spacetime)? — 180 Proof
How does "panpsychism" not beg the question it's designed to answer, namely, the what in the first place – fundamentally – gives rise to "psyche" (i.e. consciousness, sentience, experience, awareness, etc)?
And is this speculation about nature even testable in any corroborable way? — 180 Proof
Interesting. Any experiments you can cite? Or thought-experiments currently entertained in scientific papers or books by physicists?It would be corroborable by experimenting with entanglement and superposition, correlating psychology to quantum biochemistry in the brain and body that interface it with all kinds of organ systems and environmental phenomena, and the like — Enrique
