Loads of 'em.
Is my PC sentient?
1) Despite your total and ingrain stupidity nevertheless the question has some value.
Consciousness is everywhere even within a murder so it just doesn't mean that because there is consciousness this consciousness has got to be sentient.
2) Consciousness vary in intensity.
In a stone this consciousness is in a latent or dormant stage so if we would have to give a number
from 0 to 10 we could say that consciousness in a stone is next to zero while in a plant can be 1 or 2
in an animal 2 to 3 in a human being 3 to 4 and in the supreme consciousness (God) 10.
Atoms are at the bottom of the conscious scale so to speak.
They have a long long way to go before they take a more developed form of life as plants so it doesn't mean that a huge quantity of atoms as in your PC will give out such a sentient feeling but again it all depend on many other factors.
