Well, you're making sense to me, but that's perhaps due to the fact that I basically would be saying the same things if I somehow found myself in that conversation. (Which could easily happen... hell, I've gotten into that conversation on LW.)
I think you would all benefit from drop-kicking about half the terms you're using, and unpacking them instead... it seems moderately clear that you don't agree on what a p-zombie is, for example. But I would be surprised if he agreed to that.
That said, I don't think he'd agree with your summary of his position.
Does he always have such eccentric syntax?
No, he doesn't. He's spent most of his life in politics and knows how to speak with fine-honed bluntness. That's why people thought his first comment was parody.
I've identified the feeling: that sinking realisation that someone you respected is a dualist.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
If continuing the discussion becomes impractical, that means you win at open threads; a celebratory top-level post on the topic is traditional.
