No, no - I found it quite charming. Obviously, I'm not suggesting for the barest hint of a second that it's portraying any deep truth behind the universe - but if you're going to write a short story about a god, this one's really quite well done. It's a nice piece of fiction, a fairly interesting concept, and has very little to do with 'hippies'. If you think you can do better, by all means, knock yourself out.

I don't have to do better
any more than I have to be a baker to see that the cake is burned.

Look: if you really want panpsychism, read Spinoza, caught beautifully in his own trap. Read Kant in his flinty, cold magnificence. If you must, read Schopenhauer, who took started with Kant and ended with Buddha. They'll all give you a decent intellectual workout. The garbage in your link won't.

I read plenty of philosophy, thanks - at degree level, no less. I enjoyed some (particularly Nietzche - depserately unfashionable for genuine philosophers, as I understand, but he struck me as a very bright man), other bits bored be to tears (Kant). None of it left me so jaded that I'd judge a well-crafted piece on its subject matter.

But it's not even well-crafted!
Forget the content: the writing is teenage.
