Default Re: I will answer your questions about the meaning of life.

What is the cause of consciousness (self-awareness)?

The cause is existence.

The necessary condition is an environment in which distinctions between things as they are and things as they might be exists.

Can any sufficently complicated thing become self aware?

The question is circular. Anything sufficiently complicated enough to be self-aware is self-aware, yes.
