The Function of Consciousness

We need to know more about what the biological and physical basis of consciousness is in those organisms, especially humans, which we're sure of have conscious experiences. If I'm not conscious, even if my mind might be still sensitive to its presence, then I generally can't behave flexibly. So I think consciousness gives us this very generic ability to behave adaptably in flex. There's something more basic going on about why evolution has taken advantage of the ability for awareness to exist in the universe.
