i don't know why your shitty whinging made it click but damn, it really is just Pascal's wager again. "we don't know if the spooky calculators have souls so better to act as if they dOoOoOo!"

    You could be totally right for all I know, but my argument against is that we humans have no idea what consciousness is & souls may not be real at all. To me panpsychism is more plausible than the vast majority of theories or mumbo jumbo regarding the soul, saying this as a comparison of plausibility without claiming that consciousness and the soul are the same or necessarily closely related.
