I must admit I found the previous articles on Zombies somewhat tedious as I find the entire concept of philosophical Zombies to be specious. Still, now I’m glad I read through it all as I can see why you were so careful to lay down the foundations you did.
The question of what changes one can make to the brain while maintaining ‘identity’ has been been discussed many times on the Extropians list, and seldom with any sort of constructive results.
Today’s article has already far exceeded the signal to noise ratio of any other discussion on the same topic that I’ve ever seen, so I am really looking forward to seeing where you go from here.
