The real problem with the p-zombies thing is why do p-zombies talk about consciousness?. You and I have the experience of talking about being conscious because we have the experience of being conscious in the first place. But for a p-zombie to behave exactly the same as us, it would have to have some other mechanism for talking about being conscious that is not dependent on being conscious. So that would mean that our talking about consciousness can be explained by some mechanism other than our being conscious in the first place! Our experience of consciousness, and our talking about experiencing consciousness, could just happen to be one massive coincidence rather than being causally linked! Doesn't seem likely, ergo no p-zombies. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kYAuNJX2ecH2uFqZ9/the-generalized-anti-zombie-principle https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kYAuNJX2ecH2uFqZ9/the-genera...
