It's not a huge leap to imagine biological cells might have a rudimentary consciousness

Pan-psychists might argue that your subjective consciousness is an aggregate of all the cells/molecules, etc in the system

"While each biological cell operates largely on its own chemical cues, they all coordinate through complex nervous and chemical networks to create your unified, subjective experience."

You might be a rigid materialist
