I concur

No one has any idea of whether consciousness is emergent or not. It’s unfalsifiable. Emergent consciousness is just speculation.

When consciousness observes reality, reality will change its behaviour, or seems to, and that would suggest that maybe reality is emergent from consciousness. But again, unfalsifiable, cannot be proven nor disproven.

Point is, no one anywhere has a solid grasp on what consciousness is. That’s why it’s called “the hard problem of consciousness”

Whichever way you look at it both are equally absurd.
