Well perhaps I am a philosophical zombie. As many have pointed out, the
qualia I experience when looking at something red may be entirely different
from the qualia you experience when looking at the same thing, but the same
may also be true for consciousness. What I think of as consciousness might
just be a weak pale reflection of the enormously larger and grander
consciousness that you experience everyday, so compared to you I am a
philosophical
zombie. Or maybe the reverse is true. Neither of us will ever know.
