On your best days, you're sugar fire, you're chemically no different than a meat car. You serve the same purpose as fire. You just exist to catalyze entropy. That's it. If the universe was "conscious", it would suffer from profound levels of self-destruction due to the capacity of consciousness to deviate from the natural optimum. If the consciousness does not deviate from the natural optimum, it has no free will since all of its actions are predetermined in accordance with the natural optimum, and at this point, it cannot be considered conscious, whatever "consciousness" exists is entirely powerless in that it cannot deviate from the natural optimum.

Since at this point, without any influence upon the system due to the inability to deviate, there is no reason for this consciousness to exist, there is no justification that would force this consciousness to arise, and in that situation, were anything unnecessarily conscious, this would be like a cancer, something that just sucks away energy without producing anything.

The only things which would develop consciousness are the things that outright need consciousness as a necessary evil like complicated biological entities. They need a way to organize, process, and react to a large amount of environmental stimulus and produce the reaction which most benefits the indefinite survival of the organism.
