Panpsychism, in all forms described to me, would require a violation of both Quantum Mechanics & General Relativity. Which means that it would require all of physics to be wrong.

And it wouldn't be the first time all of physics has been wrong so who cares?
-
We should care, because if QM is wrong, the internet doesn't work and we're not talking right now because our computers don't work. Either physics is generally correct, or you're a figment of my imagination. No, this isn't the same as Einstein's revision of Newton's gravity.

For an electron (as an example) to have consciousness would require it to have a degree of freedom beyond those predicted by QM & relativity. If it has such a degree of freedom, then QM & relativity are falsified. If it doesn't have consciousness, pansychism is false.
-
Why would it require that? And perhaps consciousness is merely a property of matter at a macroscopic level? Lots of things are only properties of matter at a macroscopic level. And what about the conflict with relativity?
