Even When I Was Studying Mathematics, Physics, And Computer Science, It Always Seemed That The Problem Of Consciousness Was About The Most Interesting Problem Out There For Science To Come To Grips With.

Because The Idea Of Zombies Seems To Make Sense, And Seems To, In A Certain Sense, Be Possible, I Think One Can Use That To Argue Against The Thesis That Everything Is Purely Physical.
