The more I think about it, the more the idea that 'consciousness is an emergent property of brain activity' sounds like complete bullshit.

It's just an argument from personal incredulity

I can see how combining simple things can lead to unexpected behaviors. It's easy to imagine that billions of neurons interacting with each other could do weird wacky shit. But WHY THE FUCK AM I TRAPPED INSIDE THIS FUCKING MONKEY EXPERIENCING EXISTENCE

That is a good question. You're not the only one who's troubled by it.

The question should be who you are. "Who am I?" What constitutes "you" as you that is separate from other physical body functions. Its not a rhetorical answer, but rather if you do self-analysis, what is left there?

You need to wear your heart on your sleeve more, and live a more varied life.
Monotonous lives dont activate multiple genes...you stay "below" for life.

Yet on a meta level, you writing "The more I think about it, the more the idea that 'consciousness is an emergent property of brain activity' sounds like complete bullshit." surely did emerge from your brain activity.
