I appreciate the included analysis at the end. I understand your point much better through the story and analysis and i think it’s well considered and written.

I’m reading Cormac McCarthy’s The Passenger right now. I’m not quite half through but the girl has “imaginary friends” and the electro shock treatment she receives burns her friends. The pills she takes makes them disappear and she missed them.

Your point is important to consider, I think.

This is one of this most difficult issues we are investigating at the moment, I think. Recent developments in neuroscience are forcing more and more scientists to consider panpsychist-like perspectives. The more things to which we ascribe experience, the more we need to consider whether or not we are causing those things experiences of suffering.
