""In a nutshell, our theory is that consciousness developed as a memory system that is used by our unconscious brain to help us flexibly and creatively imagine the future and plan accordingly,""

That doesn't come close to an explanation.

That's what your unconscious brain with their flexibility and creativity want you to think.

It does, its actually very close to the angle that all there is is a daily reboot of a memory when you wake up, there is no continuous consciousness, you 'die' every time you go to sleep...

Some religions actually take this view. Not exactly sure, but a Muslim friend told me this is the view in Sunni Islam. I couldn’t verify, though.

Agreed. If a theory of consciousness doesn't explain subjectivity, then it's essentially worthless to me. I even prefer Tegmark's extremely vague, consciousness is just the strange texture information processing, or whatever he says. In fact I much prefer that, because at least it addresses subjectivity.
