Oooh, ok. Now that you mention it, I may have seen her talk before. I'm always surprised when I see serious philosophers making hard statements about philosophy they're clearly not familiar with. Like, I felt foolish in undergrad when I realized that people meant something more like "personality" by self, and not "sentience" like I thought... I get that a lot of layperson wouldn't know that panpsychism is about sentience and not sapience, but if you're out there writing papers and giving talks about the topic... Good Lord, how can you be out there publishing about it when you don't have even the most basic grasp of what the theory says?! How do you even get away with it??? And I see that particular error a lot. Makes me feel like maybe I'm not doing so bad after all, lol.
