Yah! I had problems with his concept, in the sense that it seemed to beat a
dead horse. If the Zombie Observer is forced by pain or other stimulation to
believe that he or she is not a zombie, but undergoing real experiences,
what's the point? If I tie Professor Dennett to a telephone pole and whack
the zombie, known as Daniel Dennett, between the legs with a pickax, both and
Dennett myself, will undergo vastly, unpleasant experiences-the zombie
Dennet, first.
