Zombies? Zombies? What part of "NOBODY HAS EVER DENIED THIS! An exact
copy of you MUST experience himself as you" didn't you understand?
So you argue that brute reproduction is the only valid way to adjudicate
the validity of a proposition or meme? Do remember that when the
advocates of Mormonism, fundie Xianity and Islam outnumber those who
carry the torch of your own favorite ideas. Oh wait, they already do,
and the gap appears to be growing.
