Panpsychism Makes a Comeback (General)

Possibly I am alone in thinking "consciousness" a non-problem. 
And it certainly doesn't need absurd ideas like pan-psychism 
which is a sort of reversion to the homunculus theory of life 
to "explain" it!-You could say there is a degree of awareness from zero in 
inanimate matter to greater degrees in higher life-forms, 
because of increasing complexity, and human consciousness 
probably has a different feel to it because of increased 
self-reference.
