Here's a question: if everything is conscious, what does it mean to be conscious? Wouldn't it be equally explained by nothing having consciousness? That there is no such thing as an 'internal' life, that everything merely arises as physical phenomena?
Except we all experience and report an internal life (consciousness). This is part of what makes consciousness the 'hard problem' since it can't simply be ignored.
