The good news is that we have evolved an amazing ability to believe ridiculous narratives as coping strategies so that we aren't frozen by this reality and can still get on with and enjoy life.

When ridiculous narratives like Christianity feel worn and outdated, we make up new ridiculous narratives like panpsychism.

I would say "organic machine p-zombies with no real truly conscious experience with an operative system built on random, ridiculous, changing narratives. A machine that randomly stops working then other organic machines burn or bury it."

The fact I can believe this and still enjoy life so much really is a miracle in the Christian sense.
