I love the title of an article by the philosopher Philip Goff: “Panpsychism Is Crazy, but It’s Also Most Probably True.” His line of thinking follows this path: Once we realise that physics tells us nothing about the intrinsic nature of the entities it talks about, and indeed that the only thing we know for certain about the intrinsic nature of matter is that at least some material things have experience . . . the theoretical imperative to form as simple and unified a view as is consistent with the data leads us quite straightforwardly in the direction of panpsychism.
