- antonvs 5y agoThe paper isn't quite as directly about what the title says as I might have liked, but since it's a mostly serious academic paper it probably can't be. It does contain some gems though, like: > In spite of his claim to have "long claimed" that the conceivability of zombies is only apparent, one suspects that it is non-zombic humans that Dennett finds if not inconceivable, then unendurable. [...] Zombies are perfect for Dennett! If the human world turned out to be populated only by them, his troubles would be over. Non-zombic humans, by contrast, are a nightmare for Dennett. It's also a serious but short look at the topic, which I found useful.
