That literally reads like nothing. It is a proven fact that animals don't have sense of morality, character, appreciation of beauty and art, sense of humor and so on despite having a complex brains. Just observe the wild life how it that not provable? you didn't answer any of my question about the complexity. Then you refer to some " published science" without actually discussing the ideas....  Huh.

I think it is safe to say this is the best time to end this empty cycle. I enjoyed the topic, especially Rol's posts

Rofl!

None of those things necessarily have anything to do with consciousness. Consciousness is merely self-awareness. It's quite clear that not only do you have absolutely no understanding of what consciousness is, but you seem to enjoy living oblivious to basic scientific facts.

We're clearly done here. Wow, just wow.

Such a simplified, narrow definition. Talking about basic scientific facts... I hope that helps and clear things up:

Consciousness is the state or quality of awareness, or, of being aware of an external object or something within oneself.[1][2] It has been defined as: sentience, awareness, subjectivity, the ability to experience or to feel, wakefulness, having a sense of selfhood, and the executive control system of the mind
