The problem with panpsychism is not that it is unnecessary or not anthropocentric, but that it is provably false. If everything was conscious then full anesthetic (removal of consciousness with neurotoxic chemicals) wouldn't work.

It does work though, which makes it clear that consciousness is a property produced by a mechanism in the brain.
