Pretty sure consciousness is just the accumulation of a ****load of instincts all interacting. Sort of like how complex computer operating systems are just a ****load of binary 1/0 commands where the yes/no nature of the system is hidden by just how many of them create such a massive artifice. So I don't think consciousness is beyond instinct, it's just mindbogglingly complex and feels like something different.
