[ExI] The alleged existence of consciousness

[Will Steinberg]

Sorry, I assumed by Gordon's response that the argument was about its true
existence.  But it would seem that, since behavioral observation cannot
prove zombism, one needs to know the mental structure or emergent properties
leading to consciousness, which leaves us in the same place in the same
question of "What is consciousness?", though I'm sure there exist some tests
that happen to have scores that correlate very strongly with consciousness.
