No idea whatsoever-ism!
To me it's a total mystery. Though panpsychism sounds sort of appealing, I don't see it as more than speculation yet. If you know some good links about it I'd be interested to read more.
Speculation, sure, in the sense that we lack concrete evidence for it. But if you're a naturalist who has problems with emergentism when it comes to the mind, panpsychism would be a very reasonable (and perhaps the natural) conclusion to follow.
I don't know what would constitute a good link in this case, but here's one on Aeon (if you haven't read it):
