First look at Philip Goff's Why? : the purpose of the universe

An ignorant review of is available at First look at Philip Goff's Why? : the purpose of the universe:

And in the middle we have panpsychicism, a compromise candidate to be fair, or to be unfair, a middle way between the extremes thus presented as strawmen.

The simple version of panpsychicism says that consciousness is a basic element to the universe, and not immanent at least not arising in it, nor transcendental to it.

I suspect consciousness is immanent within the universe because that is the simplest thing. Goff thinks it is more foundational than that.
