Are we more conscious because we are asking why we are conscious? A bug with a simple brain less conscious because it’s more reactionary and doesn’t ponder? Is a baby less conscious for the same reason because it is purely reactionary to survival? What about a plant?
From these questions, it can be deduced that consciousness is a function of complexity and orderly complexity, not just chaotic complexity. The more complex our thoughts the more conscious we are about or existence.
This is my version of Occam’s razor
