Someone just invented it the term! Looks interesting from the abstract. It's a kind of panpsychism with a hip new name. Looks like they discuss mental causation in it which I want to investigate more.

I'm posting this in the lounge as an item of news rather than philosophy, as I have nothing to say about it at present.

Does the human race really any need any more outre theories of consciousness?

Reply to Vera Mont You say 'outre' but panpsychism is pretty fashionable now as far as I can tell. Back in the nineties it was very out there.

And powdered wigs were pretty fashionable in the 18th century. People seemed to get over that fashion.

I just invented a new term: bert1sm. Bert1sm is basically when you are making a milkshake and you put a LOT of milk in it, instead of the usual amount. Feel free to use the term whenever you are making a milky milkshake, no need to credit me.

Google indicates that this is a form of metaphysics which is useful in psychedelic therapy.

There's a lot of panpsychism papers knocking around now.
