The more I read, the more I think I'm a P-Zombie: I have no sentience, and pre-birth, life and post life are identical.
The only exception is the middle part looks like some kind of existence, but dreams have the same appearance.
- XorNot 5y agoWell when you get down to it the thing about pre-birth and post-death is time: both those periods are arbitrarily long, but subjectively instant between moments when your conscious experience was running. 10^100 years post death and you've really only "just" died, subjectively - if a random collection of matter suddenly flickers into existence in the appropriate configuration, then despite the distance of time "you" suddenly come back to life.
- Trasmatta 5y agoYou can't be a P-Zombie if you're having a conscious experience right now.
- csdvrx 5y agoHow can you say I'm having a conscious experience? My only manifestation is just these words you are reading, and my allegations.
- Trasmatta 5y agoI didn't say you're having a conscious experience. I just said that if you're having a conscious experience (which I would assume you are, but it's impossible to prove), then you're not a P-Zombie, by definition.
