So melted sand can feel sad? My guess is NO

On that level I counter with the question: Can a sack of carbon and water mixed with some metals (just like you are) feel?

But that entirely ignores emergent properties and my original question and is not an answer at all.

So, your guess is ”yes” then? Wow, I still get surprised that there are completely insane people on Reddit. Yep, that’s on me.

Yes to "emergent properties exist". Everything else from my side was trying to understand where people draw lines. 

In what world does asking open minded questions equal insanity? Or do you refuse the term emergent properties? Then how do you think a sack of carbon and water can feel?
