Its safer to assume all life is conscious than the common assumption that we are somehow special in that regard.

  All life is conscious, but is all consciousness alive?

  Is a primitive bacterium in any way or shape conscious? I think that would be a way too generous usage of the word.

    A bacterium is a single cell. The neurons in our brains are also single cells. If we think consciousness is in the brain, then isn't it also in the neurons? If its in the neurons, is it in a neuron?

      No? Emergent properties are a thing.
