It wouldn't surprise me to learn that my CPU had feelings, if the CPU was created in a million year evolutionary process in which the lack of appropriate subjective feelings would have resulted in its death.

I'm talking about the current CPU.

You can say that about flying too.
If the CPU was created in a billion year evolutionary process in which the lack of ability to flight would result in its death, the CPUs would fly.
Like, how is this relevant?
Can flight be properly explained in terms of signals flowing through a CPU? Yes or no?
