I'm either extremely confused or parsing your post wrong: You appear to be saying that everyone is an L-zombie ("none of us are ever run").

I am saying that.

I tried not to say everyone is an L-zombie, because Benja's definition said that L-zombies are not conscious.

I believe that L-zombie is meaningless like P-zombie, because something with the traits of L-zombie gets consciousness for free (just like with P-zombie).

Everyone is whatever the conscious version of an L-zombie is.

I wrote a post to try to put my neck out on this claim. It looks like you consider this an extreme claim, so please help me out and let me know what you think.

I'm extremely confused in this whole area. My intuition doesn't like your claim, but I don't trust my intuition here.
