It seems to me how it went was Evolution laid a vaguely egg like thing, out of which popped a vaguely chicken like thing, which then proceeded to lay a definitively egg thing, out of which popped a definitive chicken. So, maybe, evolution wired up a vaguely neuronal thing, out of which emerged a vaguely feeling thing, which gave birth to a definitively neuronal thing, and here we are
Thanks for this. Along the same lines, you might enjoy Raymond Ruyer's book Neofinalism. It explores Hoel's metaphor in depth. The basic idea is that consciousness is like another dimension of reality, analogous to the third dimension in Abott's Flatland. Quite a lot of interesting thoughts follow just from pursuing that analogy.

i am reminded of Henri Bergson's "elan vitale" underlying the universe, and how Teilhard de Chardin bult on that.
