💭 Can one theory really explain both the structure of the universe and conscious experience?
In response to @DrSueSchneider and Mark Bailey’s target article on superpsychism, Karen Crowther and @heddamorch examine whether this ambitious unification really holds up.
Now available in the Journal of Consciousness Studies special issue, their paper raises several key challenges:
1) Prototime may struggle to explain features like the arrow of time
2) Superpsychism does not clearly follow from the physics it builds on
3) It inherits the same core problems facing both materialism and panpsychism
The broader takeaway: the Prototime Interpretation (PI) offers an ambitious vision of unification, with both spacetime and consciousness emerging from entanglement. At present, however, important questions remain about how fully it can deliver on its explanatory aims.

Next generation of panpsychists (as well as some neutral monists and other adjacents) gathered at summer school in Zagreb; it was a pleasure to be there and meet them all! Too bad I had to leave before the picture was taken..

Hjemmeeksamen med et virkningsløst forbud mot KI ødelegger universitetsutdannelser over det ganske land.
@heddamorch er streng, men rettferdig.

On a standard view of personal identity, if it weren't for the black plague you (as in precisely this person) most likely wouldn't exist. I used to worry about this as a child and feel bad about it. (however, open individualism fixes this!)

What could it even mean to say we are all one person when we undeniably have separate minds? Philosopher @heddamorch explores this idea that appears across philosophical traditions nautil.us/is-everyone-the-sa…

“this you seems like nothing more than a pure point of view, with no discernible further properties. Unlike a soul … this point seems built into experiences themselves; it is not an entity separate and independent from them”

Is everyone the same person? My latest in @NautilusMag. This idea appears most famously in Hinduism, as well as with Schopenhauer – and might be the best solution to the riddle of personal identity.
Summer school (in October, but maybe still warm in Italy?) on Qualia Structure and Integrated Information Theory. I'll join (online or physically TBD) along with @NaoTsuchiya, @melanieboly, Tononi, Koch and many others!
[Application Open!] 2025 Oct 5-17 in Italy. Summer school on Qualia Structure + Integrated Information Theory. Deadline 2025 Feb 28. Please see docs.google.com/document/d/1… for the financial support, program and application details! RT please!
Now with its own promo video: youtube.com/watch?v=L4kUS_uc… (summer/fall school on qualia structure and IIT October 2025)
Is Everyone the Same Person? New essay in Nautilus where I argue that this may actually be the case – i.e., defend the view known as open individualism (Kolak) or universalism (Zuboff) about personal identity. nautil.us/is-everyone-the-sa…

Final version of my paper "Does panpsychism mean that 'we are all one'?" is now up on @PhilPapers_CDP: philpapers.org/rec/MRCDPM-2. I defend the view that we are really all the same person (aka open individualism about personal identity) and argue that panpsychism supports it.
