Re: we gotta get this thing kick started again.
As far as I can tell no one can prove materialism, physicalism, pan-psychism or idealism. But you can pick which one best fits, or has explanatory value, for the phenomena.

"if you want to be a real physicalist, well, you have to be a realist about consciousness because that's the most ...
