Consciousness pervades the universe and is a fundamental feature of it

The person who solved all the mysteries was Bertrand Russell. His central insight in the 1920s was that physics is purely mathematical, and as such doesn’t really care what fundamental reality is like, so long as it has the right mathematical structure.

That leaves philosophers freedom to postulate a realm of basic conscious entities at the fundamental level, interacting in the right ways to yield the mathematical structures physics identifies. You can’t get consciousness from physics but you can get physics from consciousness.

"Galileo wanted science, or at least our most basic science, to be purely mathematical. This is something we tend to take for granted these days, but it was a radical innovation at the time to insist that we describe the universe purely with the language of mathematics.
