Observing in us is being conscious…?
Awareness = observation.
Perception = observation
Observation = interaction.
Where you stop observing you become unconscious. The less you observe the less conscious you are.
A human mind observes more than a fundamental particle observes. Is a fundamental particle conscious? Is it an integer of consciousness? If a rock with the same amount of observers/particles as a human is not conscious, then consciousness is not a property of observation [because the rock has the same amount of observers].
If the rock isn’t conscious then consciousness in humans cannot be a product of mass observation. If a particle isn’t conscious, then consciousness in humans cannot be a product of singular observation.
So is a rock conscious?
As all physical things observe, and the mass of observers in us is not conscious, then consciousness is not physical.
…but consciousness does observe.
