I've been reading/thinking about consciousness a lot lately and agree with the idea of philosophical zombies. I don't think that there is necessarily anything "magical" about consciousness - I just think that we are in the dark ages of understanding it. I think it's more like a fundamental property of the universe, or a property of matter, than something that can emerge from matter. Conscious experience emerging from matter seems more "magical" to me. I've been reading a lot of David Chalmers lately - he's awesome.
