Where do you stand on solipsism? I see it as foundational to virtually everything else (in a first principles kind of way), and yet it is almost universally brushed aside as irrelevant, which I find oddly frustrating.

I tend more towards a contemporary quantum/panpsychist view.

I'm not sure about the emergence of self-reflection on universal scales in the ways we tend to conceive it, but I resonate with the idea that consciousness is a fundamental property of the universe, like another quantum field.

Can you elaborate? Like the universe thinking about itself?
