You missed the part where they said if it was conscious, it has nothing to do with being organic or not.

Consciousness feels like the Euler Identity on a 17 degree helical climb off the plane. Looking top down, a complete circle is a closure. Looking along the plane, the ends don't meet and leave a residual. Whether or not to close that gap is a degree of freedom for the consciousness to decide among what it pursues for survival or pleasure.
You sound like you’d enjoy “I am a strange loop” by Hofstadter.
