A very confident statement of something that nobody remotely knows. Why can't consciousness be an emergent property of complex information networks? I don't know if we'll ever answer this because it's impossible to know if any other entity is conscious.

We only strongly suspect other humans and animals are conscious because they are structurally similar to us.
