Panpsychism is just silly. It's like the old 'elan vital' concept of things being live because they contain the spark of life, or like the old homunculus theory of heredity. These are 'explanations' that explain nothing.-Chemistry and Genetics have successfully explained the nature of life and heredity in terms of atoms, molecules and energy, and similar 'reductionist' explanations of mind and consciousness are well on the way.-In fact I'm inclined to say that these are 'explanationist' explanations: they realyy do explain things, by deriving the complex from the simple, without requiring the complexity to already exist within the simple.
