I don't think that intelligence = consciousness. That said,
I find the best solution to the consciousness dilemma
in essentially believing dualist proposition (everything
has consciousness, perhaps it's just another
dimension in the world).


How about consciousness = self awareness?

That's pure tautology, IMHO.

Not necessarily: see
