What is consciousness and what is not?

Consciousness is a mysterious thing, but being conscious essentially means that you are having an experience. The one thing we know for sure about consciousness is that human beings have it, but that’s about it. Upon closer inspection, however, we find that consciousness isn’t tied to any specific human thoughts or behaviors. When we rule out these human aspects of consciousness, we can begin to speculate as to whether other things in the world also have conscious experiences. The theory of panpsychism goes even further, claiming that consciousness is an intrinsic element of all matter(blinkist summary)
