Paul, frequent commenter here, sent me this link by email: Overcoming Bias: Zombies: The Movie. Some excerpts:
DOCTOR: David! David Chalmers! Can you hear me?
CHALMERS: Yes.
NURSE: It’s no use, doctor.
CHALMERS: I’m perfectly fine. I’ve been introspecting on my consciousness, and I can’t detect any difference. I know I would be expected to say that, but -
The DOCTOR turns away from the glass screen in horror.
DOCTOR: His words, they… they don’t mean anything.
…
OFFICER 1: State your business here.
MAN: Is this where you’re keeping David Chalmers?
OFFICER 2: What’s it to you? You a friend of his?
MAN: Can’t say I am. But even zombies have rights.
OFFICER 1: All right, buddy, let’s see your qualia.
MAN: I don’t have any.
Paul is right–if you’ve read anything on mind and brain, this is hilarious!
