I completely missed the news of that success, explicitly stating: "a
very successful model".
It correctly predicts the degree of effects on consciousness from the
chemical affinities of molecules that will combine with neurotransmitter
molecules like acytelcholine. Can you panpsychism predict that? Can
it even predict that if you hold your breath long enough you will pass out?
Can you cite something that states that this is a scientific consensus?
Yes, it is a scientific consensus (as much as anything is) that
neuronal firing that is transmitted, or inhibited, by chemicals released
presynaptically is necessary for conscious thought. Have you not heard
of anesthsia? What is the panpsychic theory of anesthesia?
Brent
Now that is what I would call mysterian.
