It doesn't mean anything... what means "as if" if the thing you are comparing
it to does not exists (here consciousness). You can't act as if you are
conscious if cousciousness is something which does not exists, it simply
doesn't mean anything. By the way, I'm sure dogs are conscious (have inner
personal world).
