Good read on consciousness

[John 6IX Breezy]

Think of consciousness as a weakly emergent phenomenon, not dissimilar from the wetness of water.

I disagree with this analogy. The author adds:

"Individual molecules of water have a number of physical-chemical properties, but wetness isn’t one of them. They acquire that property only under specific environmental circumstances (in terms of ambient temperature and pressure) and only when there is a sufficiently large number of them."

Wetness exists solely within consciousness. You don't get wetness by adding lots of water molecules together. You get wetness by adding a conscious being with sensory nerves that tranport the information into a brain and creates the perception of wetness.

I'm not sure the analogy still holds given that it is comparing consciousness to itself.
