Hi Bruno and Roger,
What would distinguish, for an external observer, a p-zombie
from a person that does not see the world external to it as anything
other than an internal panorama with which it cannot interact?

Hi William R. Buckley
You can speak to a potential test subject,
but it can only reply if it indeed has a mind.
This is an assumption you make.

If not, not.
If true, then you have demonstrated the non-existence
