And the case even for a hypothetical pz like you say. So yeah, just saying I think it looks very interesting for further reading

Woh, that's a pretty thorough list, thank you
Gotta say though I'm not a huge fan of Chalmers, or really much to do with the 'hard problem' of consciousness, or things like panpsychism etc... but thank you for the consideration. I used to be much more interested in those sorts of questions than I am now. Now I would consider myself either an epiphenomalist or a physicalist, but in practical terms they're pretty much the same thing... or tantamount to the same thing (I know we don't like that word any more
) to me so there's no real urgency about getting to the bottom of that.
