Good first approximation: don't write posts about consciousness, if you don't want to be downvoted.
Better approximation: Don't write posts about consciousness, unless you have read about mysterious answers to mysterious questions, and you've had an insight that make consciousness seem less mysterious than before.
I had read mysterious answers to mysterious questions. I think I do have an explanation that makes consciousness seem less mysterious and which does not introduce any additional mysteries. Unfortunately I seem to be the only one who appreciates that.
Maybe if I had started out to discuss the computational requirements of the perception of consciousness there would have been less objection. But I don't see any way to differentiate between perception of consciousness and consciousness. I don't think you can have one without the other.
