The Idea That Everything From Spoons to Stones is Conscious is Gaining Academic Credibility

Consciousness permeates reality. Rather than being just a unique feature of human subjective experience, it s the foundation of the universe, present in every particle and all physical matter.

This sounds like easily-dismissible bunkum, but as traditional attempts to explain consciousness continue to fail, the panpsychist view is increasingly being taken seriously by credible philosophers, neuroscientists, and physicists, including figures such as neuroscientist Christof Koch and physicist Roger Penrose.
