If it were so simple, you'd think we'd be able to put our thumb down on what consciousness "is" and "isn't," where it comes from, etc.

Why? What does OP's answer have anything to do with what counscioness is or isn't and where it comes from? You are committing a logical fallacy. There is no relation between these two.

For real. As anyone who's done psychedelics could say, consciousness is a spectrum

That sounds like a possible answer though. And if some hypothetical entity gave you the answer to that question "with 100% certainty" you'd not be much smarter... still dont know why...
