why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?
RE: why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?
Panpsychism seems like a sensible philosophical idea to me, especially given the observer effect and quantum eraser effect in QM. I do not like what I call brain-waving as an explanatory device (i.e. wave toward the brain and say "obviously, that's what makes consciousness!").

I'd probably even go with an idealistic monism before a material one. But all of these have the same problem-- how could we, even theoretically, move from sensible philosophy to an attempt at confirmed knowledge?
