These are opinions as much as any other on the subject since present science has no model for consciousness. There is no equation or natural law containing consciousness as a quantity. Nothing in science can tell which arrangements of atoms, molecules or fields are conscious.

All we have are people handwaving their little tales, like the one the above.

Exactly to the point of logic. Logical or rational arguments do not work when significant parts of the argument are undefined.

Consciousness is undefined. After that is understood, talking about what it isn’t, saying what it is not using logic is counterproductive. Alan Watts used to talk about what consciousness seems to be, but shining the light back on a flashlight to see how the flashlight illuminates does not yield rational results. It yields “other results”.

The same question is “How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?”
