……等等），但边界案例终归是少数。在我看来，目前关于植物是否具备感知力的研究就支持这一点。（比如看看《The Light Eaters》以及迈克尔·波伦关于意识的新作《A World Appears》。）冥想更加深了这种感触。我们无法控制自己的思维；事实上，“我们”（即自我）完全可以被看作一种幻觉。相反，佛教冥想指向的是一种全域觉知（general awareness），它更接近感知力……
…etc.) but the border cases will be the exceptions. Current research on whether plants are sentient supports this, IMO. (See e.g. "The Light Eaters" and Michael Pollan's new book on consciousness, "A World Appears".) Meditation adds to this sense. We do not control our thoughts; in fact the "we" (i.e. the self) can be seen to be an illusion. Buddhist meditation instead points to general awareness, closer to sentience,…
……一旦你接受我们拥有灵魂，意识的难难题（hard problem of consciousness）也就不复存在了。这本质上不过是给问题换了个新名字，还附带了更多历史包袱。迈克尔·波伦的《A World Appears》是一个有趣且细致入微得多的切入视角。非常推荐。
…the hard problem of consciousness is no more once you accept that we have souls. Which is essentially giving the problem a new name and burdening it with more historical baggage. Michael Pollan's "A World Appears" is a much more interesting and nuanced take. Very much recommended.

……正是这个主题。我最喜欢的一句话大意是：“笛卡尔提出‘我思故我在’，也许只错了一半；它更贴近‘我感故我在’。”[1] <https://www.amazon.com/World-Appears-Journey-into-Consciousn...> ---- 我养过成千上万株植物；也读过该作者写的另外两本关于植物的书；在这本书里，波伦为植物的感知力（sentience）给出了极具说服力的论证（胜过……
