Jàchym, I have no answers, but definitely more questions. Diving into more awareness of Physicalism has been very enriching to me. I would love to develop a conversation on the hows and possibilities we may write imagining how we'll build the world next to AI. I found this post tremendously valuable.

Thank you. I have a different way of talking about this, but I think pointing at the same thing. It seems to me that science can only tell us, what it knows... it can't tell us, that something does NOT exist. For example, it can't say, that stars have no consciousness. It can only say, we have not yet discovered the consciousness of stars. Yet when science pretends that the only things it knows, are the only things that CAN be known, I think of that as "scientism" -- a religious faith in science. I think we are saying similar things, and I like the distinctions you are offering between science and philosophy.
