Consciousness is an ability to have subjective experience.

  There are no subjective experiences, just bad software. Your bad meat software constantly creates illusions that you believe to be real because you're not really rational enough to question those. Of all the peculiar software qualities you might have appealed to as consciousness, you choose the one that's the most plainly defective? My memory confabulation begins just 480 milliseconds after the event occurred, therefor I have a transcendent soul! My sensory organs are so poorly adapted, NNs have to fabricate entire swaths of data just for me to navigate the physical world, therefor I have an ineffable mind that sets me apart from all other lumps of matter!

    > that you believe to be real Think about what you just said there.

    That's a false dichotomy, consciousness doesn't imply supernatural soul or humanism.
