Free will & the Conservation Laws
#66
RE: Free will & the Conservation Laws
The problem with your test Rhythm is that it depends on a form of anthropomorphic projection. That if others behave as I would behave under the test, then they are experiencing the same things that I would be. But there's no way to know that this equivalence holds. It in a way is claiming that there aren't alternative methods (besides experience) by which such behavior can be realized. Take for example the phenomenon of blindsight. The person doesn't have an actual experience of the stimulus, yet they are able to report on the stimulus. This is "passing the test" without any actual awareness of the stimulus. What if there are zombies who can pass the greater test without actually being aware? Your test gives us no good reason to rule them out.
