Again, with comp, all incarnations are "zombie", because bodies do not think. It is the abstract person which thinks

But a few thumps on the body and the "abstract person" won't think either. So far as we have observered *only* bodies think. If comp implies the contrary isn't that so much the worse for comp.

In a virtual environment, destroying the body destroys the consciousness, but both are actually due to the underlying computations.

How can those thumped know it's virtual. A virtual environment with virtual people doing virtual actions seems to make "virtual" virtually meaningless.

It is the difference between life and second life. Reality, and relative dreams.
