I find it interesting that as people experience more diverse qualia (drugs, meditation, near-death, etc) they essentially always increase or stay the same on the panpsychism spectrum. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone go the opposite direction

Panpsychism spectrum being something like solipsism on one extreme (only I experience qualia) to only humans to only animals to the fields of physics being fields of qualia on the other extreme

by solipsism do you mean “there’s only one being and it’s everywhere” or “there’s only one being and it’s in aellas head”

Like, I’m sitting in the grass near a dog rn. In one view the dog is also experiencing something, and it’s in some sense “me”, in the other view the dog is an imagination in my mind and there’s no other sense the dog is real or experiences anything, it’s just pixels I’m imagining
