That's a claim you cannot currently defend; and which many theories of consciousness reject. For example: The Integrated Information Theory of Consciousness.

Looks like it requires life to me. My take, consciousness requires a perceived experience which requires and engaged observer.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
