There is a specific definition of a partial zombie in this paper: http://consc.net/papers/qualia.html The absurd thing is that your qualia would fade but you wouldn't notice and you wouldn't behave differently. For example, you might have gone blind overnight but you haven't noticed and are behaving as if you have normal vision. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
