No problem... although the term

"everything" is conscious at its own level.

gets to look very pan-psychist, which makes me cringe, too. I prefer to
think of it as an innate perspective whose visibility can be manipulated.
Brains do it, kneecaps don't. It doesn't have the same 'magical' flavour
to it that panpsychism brings along, but it looks 'panpsychistic'
nontheless.

Have fun digesting!
