Love your end. I have have spent four decades looking at real neurons, real synapses, and real axons and I can tell you with complete confidence that we are all just zombies.

That is a strange thought. I could look at all my own brain's neurons, even with a heads up display showing all the activity clearly, and have no idea that it was me.
