so i have started down the path of trying to understand evolution, and to get the linear lies that the jws planted in my head out of it.
i bought an audiobook called "evolution: what the fossils say and why it matters" by donald prothero.

The best that can be said for panpsychism is that it is impossible to prove that it is bollocks. The same can be said for the hypothesis that invisible trolls live inside washing machines and survive by eating fluff and occasionally feasting on left socks.
In other words it is 'not even wrong'.
Harris is far more polite than I am.

By your standard does that make him gullible?
No not unless he conceded that rocks are aware. In that case, by any standard, he would be a woo-woo disciple on the scale of Deepak Chopra.
At what point in the conversation do they discuss rocks?

I watched that video last time. He really doesn't 'entertain' the awareness of rocks. Even if he did so what? My thoughts are not coterminous with those of Harris or anybody else.

The idea that rocks are aware will always be ridiculous to all but the most gullible.

Yes and what sort of absurdity is required to draw the line of awareness at a point that includes rocks? utter gibberish - but here you go hijacking yet another thread.

I have never said rocks have personalities
You asserted that rocks are aware. The most that you would say about what that means is that awareness and consciousness are only a matter of degree. It follows that anything that is aware is conscious to some degree. Anything that is conscious exhibits traits that we can call personality.

It is impossible to avoid misrepresenting you as your opinions are a moveable feast. Despite numerous requests you consistently failed to define 'awareness' over-against consciousness.
You insist rocks are aware but cry foul when anybody suggests that implies they are conscious.
It is literally ridiculous.

pantheism, panpsychism, seem like reasonable explanations..
Rocks with personalities are not reasonable explanations for anything.
greetings, friends across the two ponds:.
of course, as per other posters' recommendations, i could google this; i have and remain, not totally confused, but wanting the straight dope as well as nuanced meaning.
i'm both curious and needing to know for purposes of editing works of american and british writers.

Hothead - reread the post you were replying to and notice the context and nuance.
You spend most of your time arguing with and insulting people who actually don't disagree with you.
It's probably a teenage phase.
