The alternative is that counciousness is a social construct humans have created to make themselves feel special.
Given that peopel can experience phantom 'qualia' when their brains have direct electrical stimulation there is no evidence that counciousness comes from magic and every evidence that it comes from the staggering complexity of the brain.

My point is that I have no idea how that can possibly work, on a fundamental level. I have no idea what kind of physical system could exist inside the brain to cause my conscious experience to occur. The only way I can conceive of a system to explain it is adding a new rule that says "When X pattern occurs, it experiences conciousness".
