It's been on my to do list for ages to leave the Labour party. I probably would have never round to it, but it's now removed from my to do list.

Mind Chat

Philip Goff is a philosopher who thinks consciousness pervades the universe. Keith Frankish is a philosopher who thinks consciousness* doesn't even exist. From their very different perspectives, Keith...

In the midst of very challenging life circumstances, I woke up somehow feeling very positive this morning. When my alarm went off, I was having a very vivid dream that I was struggling to find somewhere to have lunch in a big city. Not sure if these two things are connected.

I've had a lot of pushback on the title of this being offensive. Surely it's okay for a philosopher to say on their blog they find Catholicism implausible? Disagreement doesn't mean disrespect.

The Conscious Universe: Panpsychism with Philip Goff

Philip Goff @philipgoff.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

True, but we still end up with three empirically indistinguishable philosophical theories: Interactionist dualism Strong emergentist panpsychism Strong emergentist physicalism

Philip Goff @philipgoff.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

People always ask how you can test panpsychism but never ask how you can test physicalism...they're both philosophical not scientific theories...

Philip Goff @philipgoff.bsky.social · 17/08/2026

Physicalism, dualism, and panpsychism are *philosophical theories*. The scientific data on consciousness is, and always will be, neutral between all of these. Asking how we test panpsychism/physicalism/dualism is like asking: How can we test the thesis that abortion is morally permissible?

This feels to like thinking in terms of cultural fashions -- religion is stupid and this feels a bit like it -- rather than dispassionate, objective thinking about what we have reason to believe.

Philip Goff @philipgoff.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

What's your rational justification for putting that first? It seems to me that I know that I'm in pain with greater certainty and I know there's a table in front of me.

Nobody knows what the hell is going on. In theorising about reality, you just have to start with what seems most evident. When you do that, you find some things seem more evident than the reality of the external world.

I proposed to David Bentley Hart a chat on my channel. He replied: "Oh, I’m a cheap date. Buy me a drink, flash me a smile, and I’m always up for a YouTube conversation." Would anyone be interested in watching that?

It doesn't seem like you don't get it. Rather you're starting with a picture of the world that rules it out. I start with it, and build my picture of the world around it.

This week 2 videos went out of me fighting: one with a theist and one with an atheist. Everybody hates me! 😂 Was I correct in both, neither, or one but not the other? The theist: William Lane Craig on Reasonable Faith channel. The atheist: Dan Linford. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JAQ...

I mean the evidence in the vicinity of fine-tuning. Some people say it's not evidence for a multiverse at all. We're arguing: if it is, it's evidence for a heterogenous one. Me and co-author Kenny debate it on another episode of Phil Halper's channel.

Philip Goff @philipgoff.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Glad you got something out of it! I'm not saying a heterogenous multiverse is impossible. I'm saying: if we have evidence for a multiverse, we have evidence for a heterogenous rather than homogenous multiverse. Many worlds QM is standardly heterogenous anyway.

This is my shit. This is the shit I’m into. To my knowledge Philip isn’t a daoist but he also hasn’t really yet veered too far from the conclusions I’ve drawn from my own (James + Laozi informed) reading of Christian text. WLC is a smooth operator and I’ll enjoy this either way. 🍿
