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.
