This gets explored a bit in The Talos Principle and it's sequal. Working on the 2nd one now, it's been fun

I've never understood why people think the most sophisticated and complex technology humans have ever been aware of is too mundane just because we have scratched the surface of understanding it.

No, you're the electrochemical interactions happening inside the lump of fat.

"The material, sensuously perceptible world to which we ourselves belong is the only reality.... Our consciousness and thinking, however supra-sensuous they may seem, are the product of a material, bodily organ, the brain. Matter is not a product of mind, but mind itself is merely the highest product of matter." — Karl Marx

It’s OK. Consciousness is but a brief anomaly in the vast sea of time.
