Thank you, Adam! Our conversation early on in the series (Chapter 2) was instrumental in helping me form a new view of the universe if consciousness is fundamental.
If you are interested in consciousness and have not gotten @annakaharris.bsky.social Light's On you are missing out.
Lots of VERY interesting conversations on what is and what is not that strange feeling of "what its like to be..."
