This guy tackle probably one of the most complicated topics in philosophy, science, or religion; that of consciousness. I must admit that he oversimplifies quite a bit and rushes through his explanations and expects you to take them at face value but he does make a few good points. For a more in depth approach to this difficult issue, I recommend reading the book that I'm currently engaged in reading "Define Universe and Give Two Examples" by Barton E Dahneke. Its a very good read and treats this subject in a more thorough manner but perhaps this talk will at least spark your interest and get your noodle cookin'
