In order to survive, those memes need to preserve conscious agents that bear them.
Depends on your definition of intelligence. Mine is "the ability to surprise". A machine that prioritises the execution of one function above all else, cannot surprise its maker.

You are in danger of anthropomorphising an a posteriori observation!Those behaviors, parasites, etc., that do not destroy their hosts, may propagate, and behaviors that are propagated are called memes by those of a pretentious disposition.. That's all there is to it.
meme/miːm/noun1.an element of a culture or system of behaviour passed from one individual to another by imitation or other non-genetic means.2.an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.
I think you will find the Golden Rule underpins most if not all moral codes, but "tribal" loyalty can oppose it when there is a conflict between us and them. Sometimes the conflict is real (competition for essential resources) but the most damaging conflicts are those invented by the usual parasites.
Water has the ability to surprise most people. We don't usually call it intelligent.
the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
if you got paralyzed so you can't move your arms and legs, you are considered less conscious than your normal state
Go has formal rules and can thus be played by a machine with no intelligence.
considered by whom? Not by any anesthetist I know.
Less able, certainly, but not less conscious. I am as fully aware of my environment and able to make decisions as anyone else, but I think my footballing days may be over and I can't bowl a cricket ball as fast as I used to. Does that make me less conscious than a teenager?
Level of consciousness (LOC) is a medical term for identifying how awake, alert, and aware of their surroundings someone is.1 It also describes the degree to which a person can respond to standard attempts to get his or her attention. Consistent medical terms describing a person's level of consciousness help in communication between care providers, particularly when the level of consciousness fluctuates over time.
Classifications of ComaThe states of coma and stupor may also be subdivided into levels or classifications that further clarify a person's degree of unresponsiveness. Several systems have been developed in order to standardize these classifications, which improves communication among healthcare providers and also aids in research. The most commonly used classification systems are the Grady Coma Scale and the Glasgow Coma Scale.The Grady Coma Scale rates a coma in grades from I to V.5 The grades are determined based on a person's state of awareness and response to stimuli, such as response to the person's name being called, light pain, and deep pain. Grade I indicates confusion, while V indicates no response to stimuli (coma).The Glasgow Coma Scale uses a score to identify the level of consciousness, from 1 to 15, with 15 being a normal state of consciousness. This scale takes into account verbal, motor, and eye responses to stimuli in determining the overall score.
There are also psychological terms used to describe consciousness (fully aware of one's intentions), in contrast to the subconscious (often describes deeper intentions), and preconscious (related to memory). There are also several other theories and definitions of consciousness describing stages of sleep, levels of self-awareness, and the relationship between humans and matter. While all of these definitions are certainly valid, they are not used to define medical states of consciousness.

Whatever your definition of consciouness, a conscious person is one whose brain responds in some way to a stimulus. So loss of memory wouldn't count:"what is your name" "I don't know" indicates full consciousness with lack of memory, and is surprisingly common.
