qroqqa commented on the word zimbo
In the work of Daniel Dennett, a zimbo is a zombie (an organism physically and behaviourally identical to a human being except that it is not conscious) which can interrogate and discuss its own internal states. A zimbo would presumably report (incorrectly) that it was conscious. Dennett (and I) think we're all zimboes. Oh, except that he and I don't actually think we're conscious.
