It seems to me like consciousness is just a background process of the brain. When the brain is working really hard in a stressful situation, maybe exercising or running away from a predator, there's not really an intelligent higher level consciousness that's actively thinking about math and stuff. Only when you're sitting and relaxed can you do that and really think. You get caught up in daily cycles doing repetitive tasks and only when you sit and stop and break from this, and your brain is no longer being utilized, are you more conscious
What if consciousness is just wasted idle CPU cycles in our brain. An emergent property of our decision-making process that isn't actually important to it

what if you just made a bunch of shit up because the perceived external environment is completely subjective, causing one to come to thus random conclusion that consciousness is able to be defined by a 4chan thread

It's not a 4chan thread, it's a claim written in a language whose truth value can be assessed

i like ur idea anon and i agree with it. there is a level of abstraction neanderthals developed as part of their evolution that eventually evolved into a complex system of words, quantities, ideas, and eventually a perception of self.
