What 350 different theories of consciousness reveal about reality

There are hundreds of coherent theories attempting to explain the origins of experience. Consciousness is the ultimate question of existence. Nothing is more essential than our experience. Yet we have no consensus, and perhaps no clue, about what it actually is. The trouble, in part, is that experts usually become invested in one theory, blinding themselves to alternative explanations that could aid progress. Instead, I embrace the diversity of consciousness theories across science, philosophy and religion - so long as they are built on clear arguments.
