>conscious of their guilt This hits it for me: Consciousness is kinda "being aware of the fact that you have choices for available actions, and what the impact of these actions/non-actions will have on either yourself, your environment, the object of your action, or impact on others. Intelligence is being aware of the inputs and knowing the (non)available list of actions to take. Intelligence acts on stimuli/input/data? Consciousness is awareness of one's own actions from intelligence, others acts from their standpoint of intelligence or consciousness... A yin/yang, subjective/objective sort of duality that Humans make. (thought v emotion) Dogs are both intelligent and conscious. They know guilt when they are shamed or happiness when praised for intelligent actions..
