Yes, I agree! Along the same lines, it is not the role of any theory of consciousness to explain why the subjective experience of consciousness exists at all.
OTOH, if there isn't some other theory that explain consciousness in terms of more fundamentall entities, properties, etc, then reductionism is out of the window...and what is left of physicalism without reductionism?
Are you arguing against me? Because I think I agree with what you just said...
I'm confused about how you can be backing both IIT and something like panpsychism.
Why not? I'm just going based off the wikipedia article on IIT, but the two seem compatible.
