The good stuff knows that it's good stuff, just as you will still know that
you're you if you're kidnapped in your sleep and taken to a distant place
full of things that aren't you. This is the defining feature of a conscious
entity. (This is repeating Russell's answer, but it's perhaps the single
most important idea of this list: everything + anthropic principle =
observed reality).
