Not having consciousness might be the best thing that could happen to a universe. Just everything existing, without desire or suffering.

With a universe that peaceful, there might as well not be us.

actually that's precisely what buddhism is all about. there is no "i" in it all, the universe is a river of colors, flowing, transforming, but it is because we cling to the world that we create the illusion of an "i" ourselves.

There's a cool video about this by exurb1a, i think it's this one (but could also be another video, this dude made a lot of great videos.)
