I found this quote from dennet. I don't really understand this shit. He says we are p-zombies because in an objective sense a science of consciousness has no need to account for example how this blue of my monitor looks to me, because that's not an actual thing in the physical world. No "blueness" in my neurons or the electro-chemical reactions that they do, or really even more fundamentally the particles of physics (which I'm too stupid to understand).

I suppose my first response is just.. I don't even understand what it means to say this doesn't exist? It's literally everything I've ever known, it's everything that makes ethics real, it's all the pain and suffering I've felt. If it doesn't exist I might as well be dead what's the difference? But I'm not dead because I can literally see my fingers typing this sentence.

I don't get it. How can someone deny sensations? Why even have laws you can't wrong anyone!

Even if it is some sort of "illusion" wmof physics I fail to see how that makes a difference. My entire being and your being is this illusion. I can't turn it off either.
