For a guy talking about composition fallacies all the time, that's a strange question.
Not at all, and it's not a composition fallacy. It's just something I'd been wondering about, why mind is intrinsic to the universe is one case (quantum fields, matter, what have you) ... but not the other. A digital camera is less than a brain...but not any less comprised of or derived from the other (the universe, quantum fields, matter).
If those little sparks of mind, as you've called them in the past are everywhere...aren't they in the camera too? So, are we really talking about something that doesn't have or isn't a mind (is it really coherent to say that -anything- doesn;t have a mind, still assuming the truth of mind as intrinsic and supervening)..or just the degree to which they have it?
