why do we enjoy poetry From the perspective of neuroscience?

I don't think anybody here is genuinely doubting that other people have consciousness. Even I'm not that skeptical.

I'm just answering what I read. If bennyboy doesn't genuinely believe solipsism is true, cool. This means he thinks it's reasonable to believe others have minds of their own, right?

I don't want to speak for him, but I haven't gotten the idea that he's a solipsist. I think the discussion got a bit sidetracked by someone else's misunderstanding of the thought experiment. 

The point of the p-zombie thought experiment isn't to challenge the idea that other people are conscious. It's just to pose the question: what precisely can we point to that will distinguish a conscious subject from a high-functioning non-conscious robot?

That's a little bit of a different question from what I was addressing. My answer here is no idea. Depends on ones views of consciousness.

Me too. But I think that's the point of the whole p-zombie concept -- just to show that there is no clear and obvious thing we can point to. From outside another person's mind, it is absolutely reasonable -- but absolutely unprovable -- to think that they are having experiences just as I do.
