When I think about what I find morally valuable about consciousness, I tend to think about rich experiences which are negative/positive, from the way that I rate them internally. An example of a negative value conscious experience is a sharp pain associated with being pricked by a pin. An example of a valuable conscious experience is the sensation of warmth associated with sitting near a fire during a cold winter day, together with the way that my brain processes the situation and enjoys it.
These things appears to me subtlety distinct from the feeling of inner awareness called ‘consciousness’ in this post.
