Consciousness is not mysterious, unless you think a brute fact is
mysterious, but there are only two ways an iterative sequence of "how"
or "why" questions can go, it can either terminate with a brute fact
or it goes on forever. I think an iterated sequence of questions going
on forever is far more mysterious than a brute fact. And I think it's
a brute fact that consciousness is the way data feels when it is being
processed.

You've got cause-and-effect mixed up.Consciousness is not a source of
intelligent action, consciousness is an inevitableconsequence of
intelligence.
Most intelligent action is preceded by conscious planning.
