Like others said this needs to either focus on Zombies or Gettier- maybe focus on Gettier first and then used that as a tool to address Chalmers. I would just take out the notes to newcomers. Despite the length of this post it still feels rushed to me- the ideas you’re dealing are pretty complex and you just keep piling one on top of the other. This makes it hard to follow even for someone familiar with a lot of those concepts.
I have a bit to say about the content but I’m going to make that another comment.
I can see parts that I could reasonably cut or break off. But I really want a chance of convincing some philosophers, so I have to address the points in the notes somehow. Perhaps in actual footnotes?
Do you plan to wait and address the content after I fix that?

As someone inferentially closer to philosophers than most people here I don’t think the ‘notes for newcomers’ section is particularly essential to this endeavor. But the main thing is- this looks like a 15-20 page argument you’ve condensed to 4. So what you need to do is either forgo this medium and just write a full paper or break down the argument into sections that can be posted separately.

Nah, I just got confused and then distracted and then moved on. I’ll try to do it now. Feel free to harangue me if I don’t.
