Um ... not trying to be funny here but what on Earth makes you think no one is acknowledging conciousness?
At my last count (admittedly some time ago) there were something like 300 peer-reviewed journals on brain function, mentality and so on, there are numerous popular science books on the subject (I believe Stephen Pinker is an author who writes on the subject) so it's not like we don't know anything ... it is just, like any other area of science, an ongoing area of research.
Personally I believe that all advanced animals have levels of conciousness and that humans only happen to be the ones that have made larger strides in that area (presumably due to evolutionary luck).
I think there is no verifiable evidence for precognition and no, I do not think nature or the universe is in any way becoming self-aware.
