Yeah
If you kicked it, would it cry? There's your answer.
So animals have consciousness according to you?
What? Of course animals have consciousness. I'm not the guy you're replying to, but what the fuck are you trying to say? Like 99% of animals are not mindless zombies
How can it be both "infinite" and "white"? Infinity negates the definition of white. And "room" for that matter.

Infinity is black. Based and racepilled
He would have conscious awareness literally as soon as he came into being, so yes. Don't think he will develop an inner monologue though.
It all depends on if there are other humans in the room.

He's alone.
Anything that can feel pain is conscious by definition.
Sensory deprived humans hallucinate things because our brains are always struggling to find a pattern to make sense out of.
It'd be immortal in that room tripping it's balls off for all of eternity.

See Avicenna's floating man argument.
"One of us must suppose that he was just created at a stroke, fully developed and perfectly formed but with his vision shrouded from perceiving all external objects – created floating in the air or in the space, not buffeted by any perceptible current of the air that supports him, his limbs separated and kept out of contact with one another, so that they do not feel each other. Then let the subject consider whether he would affirm the existence of his self. There is no doubt that he would affirm his own existence, although not affirming the reality of any of his limbs or inner organs, his bowels, or heart or brain or any external thing. Indeed he would affirm the existence of this self of his while not affirming that it had any length, breadth or depth. And if it were possible for him in such a state to imagine a hand or any other organ, he would not imagine it to be a part of himself or a condition of his existence."

This is literally Descartes hundreds of years before Descartes lived. Wow. Differentiating between the mind/res cogitans and the body/res extensa.
