Yes.

Or you might already be a philosophical zombie, in which case neither you
(by definition, not being "conscious") nor I (because we are restricted to
dealing with *phenomena*, any hypothetical Ding-an-sich being unattainable

This is another way to say that philosophical zombies, either "natural" or
electronic, cannot be part of anybody's reality.
