By definition behavior of p-zombie is identical to conscious person.
Even if the p-zombie is knocked unconscious?

I believe that consciousness is a product of brain activity because that is the direction the evidence points. I'm funny like that. Proofs are for math and whiskey, science is about evidence and evaluating it.
If you don't believe your own direct experience, the basis of the definition of consciousness, science can't help you. That I experience consciousness and everyone else's behavior and reportage are similar is sufficient evidence; science is not about what can be proven, it's about what works. It's pretty clear that assuming you're the only conscious being doesn't work very well, it leads to problems.
Do you believe p-zombies are more probable than other humans possessing consciousness the same way you do? If you believe you are the only truly conscious being, why do you suppose the world is constructed in such a fashion...the rest of us only being here to fool you into thinking you're not super special?
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
