I like this answer personally. How does one even define consciousness? Subjective thought? I personally don’t think so but the who hell knows?
Subjective thought is Darwinism at work. We need to perceive only what helps us survive and pass our genetics, trying to get the full picture of the world is a futile cause. Evolution said screw that, let’s just smooth over the real stuff we can’t actively comprehend.
We can’t fully grasp the world around us, not even close, so what makes us more conscious than a dog? We can perceive marginally more but neither species comes even remotely close to full worldly perception.

You don't think consciousness is defined by subjectivity?
>so what makes us more conscious than a dog?
Do you think dogs have subjective experience? It seems absurd to think they don't.
