Humans like to think we are so special. Natural selection built "consciousness" from simple building blocks. Natural selection is a blunt instrument. No complex engineering was involved in the construction of "consciousness." I love listening to philosophers twist themselves in knots trying to come up with complex and nonsensical explanations for consciousness. In the end, it is just an emergent property of complex computation systems. I agree with Michael. My personal experience is that my consciousness has something to do with the fact that part of my brain can model the future and predict the steps needed to move from the present to the imagined future state.
