Most of the time, the content of the sentence "consciousness is an emergent phenomenon" is indistinguishable from the sentence "consciousness is magic." I'd almost prefer the latter, because it at least acknowledges the complete lack of knowledge we have about consciousness and its etiology. It also seems like we can just as well say that computers magically become conscious as we can say water meat sacks magically become conscious.
