I'm also a materialist, and the lack of p-zombies here cannot preclude their existence elsewhere.


How would you know one when you saw it, though? What is a p-zombie, if you’re not allowed to use any synonyms for “soul”?


The concept of p-zombies requires a soul, or other mystic forces. It just hides it. Materialists should reject the notion as inherently incoherent. Two things cannot be physically the same, where one is conscious and the other not. To think so, is to invalidate physics.
