zombies

About a year ago I quoted an extremely silly philosophical argument about consciousness. It's somewhat related to a more famous but almost equally silly argument in the same field, the one about zombies. ("Quaaaaalia!")

Since it's that time of year again ... Zombies: The Movie.

GENERAL FRED: They behave ... exactly like we do ... except that they're not conscious.

(Silence grips the table.)

Yet more NCS notes, for our next concert.

Someone posted a stupid list of alleged pagan parallels to the Jesus story (desired conclusion: the Christians made it all up, basing their stories on earlier myths) in uk.religion.christian, where I still hang out for sentimental reasons. I did a little light debunking. (It probably has mistakes; corrections welcome.)
