I haven't read the article myself yet as it's big and I haven't got time now, but I will as it looks like it might be very good. However, if you read just the very first paragraph you'll see that's exactly what the author thinks:

> Personally, I consider myself a physicalist, but I’m also a panpsychist – because physics doesn’t really seem to deal in hard absolutes, and I find it straightforward to consider that everything is conscious to some greater or lesser degree

Consciousness could be an emergant property too, of matter arranged in a certain way. Why am I me though? Drives me nuts!

I mean, we are as much a part of the universe as everything else. We're just dead star matter arranged in specific ways.

A part of the universe is objectively conscious.

And so are electrons.

That’s an interesting thought. I’ll try not to type too hard on my keyboard then

The latter is easier to accept.
