Thanks, I like the paper. I understand the core idea is that to imagine a zombie (in the relevant sense of imagine) you would have to do it first person - which you can't do, because there is nothing first person to imagine. I find the argument for this persuasive.

And this is just what I have been thinking:

the idea of "conceiving of something" is woolly and incapable of precision.
