So if it’s plausible that worms or bacteria (or thermostats!) are accompanied by some level of consciousness, however minimal and unlike our own experience, why not follow the same logic when it comes to organs in the body, or the cerebellum (which contains most of the neurons in the brain)? Just because something isn’t appearing in the field of what “I” am experiencing, why rule out the possibility that many forms of consciousness exist simultaneously within the boundaries of my body?
