Individual Sentients Beware! - New Research Shows Zombies Are in almost All!

Initial results from a new revolutionary Test for Sentience indicates clearly that zombie tattoos come in almost all in most human populations. Early results from tests done on a random sample of my local population reveals that individuals may be broadly grouped in to two groups: Homo sentiens and Homo sapiens (that is zombies! ).Cognitive specialists have often wondered how you could check for sentient subjectivity in a sensible system. How might one distinguish a zombie from a actual person? A new Sentience Quotient Test is developed. No! No! Not that Turing check bull. The entrance will need to come from the horse's mouth.TEST QUESTION: Imagine a relationship at 'arms length' using a program you know is an android but is indistinguishable from a person in most visible behavioral characteristics. Besides the fact of material constitution, how can you start conceptualizing your difference( s), as an individual, from this kind of machine? Give you response at any desired length. Limitless moment is allowed.RESPONDENT: NO DIFFERENCESTEST RESULT: Proved. Participant can be a philosophical zombie.RESPONDENT: I've A SUBJECTIVE. INNER LIFE THAT MACHINE Can't REPRODUCE BLAH BLAH BLAH....TEST RESULT: Non-philosophical zombie suspected although not confirmed.I made a decision to try out the check on my friends. The concept is simple. The manner when the zombie couches his terms in reaction to the Sentience Quotient Test may suggest in my experience what it's got inside it. Now, this will be an interesting project: to demonstrate that yet another individual individual is a machine simulation of me. That must certanly be very interesting discovery; that external appearances are deceptive.That a few of the people I've been dealing with in my neighbor hood are not real persons, at least, not in the sense by which I've always understood the word 'person.' How amazing! That I've been fooled all my life, considering that others are like me, using a non-structured, thought process transcending, fully intuitional condition of pure self-aware consciousness; and that has been so simply because of the ingenious method of hiding defenses of outward organic appearances that have been elaborated to replicate the outward appearances of my inner being. It follows that I may even be alone in an Universe of bio-robots. Wonderful! Unbelievable!This specially-designed test seemingly have confirmed by long standing accusations that I reside in some sort of populated mostly by zombies. Pretty Mary across the street was the first to simply take the Sentience Quotient Test. It's possible to determine from the carefully designed test question whether an intelligent system is just a real person or perhaps a zombie system.The fundamental idea to the test is really as follows: A non-sentient intelligent system (a machine system) will equate 'mind' with the features of its 'executive' applications (its machine homunculi). A machine system seems, thus, to reject the proposal that a sentient system will provide it with: that 'consciousness' is transcendent of most information processing functions.A machine system will be unable to recognize the idea that, in a sentient system, consciousness is the buyer of the end-products of information processing in the particular non-structured format obscurely termed 'qualia.'The concept that sentient knowledge is the emergent item of interaction between a non-machine homunculus and information in the non-structured 'qualia' format is intuitively grasped by a sentient system but remains a contentious issue with the machine mind theorist who 'says' or 'looks at' inner representations of 'reality' by 'executive' program homunculi which constitute its 'machine consciousness.'The distinction between a machine and a sentient (non-machine) system rests on the fact that no machine system are designed for information in 'qualia' format. You need a non-machine 'government' to 'read' information in 'qualia' format (where 'qualia' is the particular qualitative property which supervenes on raw information to an enriching effect on knowledge for a sentient system ).Machine methods and their manufacturers face the impossible problem of how to create 'convincing' representations of 'reality' given the 'part significantly less than total' limitation of the set system of reason on which unit mind runs. The alternative 'qualia' structure of sentient systems disposes of the 'part significantly less than whole' restriction elegantly; for, in the 'qualia' function, the non-set logic principle of 'part identical to whole' guarantees that there is no asymmetry of truth and inner mental representation of reality.Machine mind may help in our conceptualization of mind function but it'd be a mistake to think that a sentient being is a machine.It is, certainly, in principle, possible to design an excellent simulation of a sentient system only as the ineffable, overall condition of being seems only to itself and to no other; outward bio-appearances being only the finger-pointing to the beauty within.Given that the non-structured subjective aspect to mind may be seen only by itself, it becomes possible to design a non-subjective system that's indistinguishable in form and function from a subjective system.How might one check for sentience in a system offering with the outward appearance of total subjectivity?Assuming one were to develop a robot simulation of himself; a robot indistinguishable in appearance and function from its creator. What inward big difference would there be between you and such simulacrum of you? Physician Robert could not tell!When any person offers his view on the subject of sentience, he unavoidably reveals himself; his individual inner experience. You are able to infer, for that reason, whether a sensible system is just a zombie equipment or perhaps a system by a careful investigation of its benefits around the subject.Yes! Robert failed my 'Turing' check for sentient subjectivity; and therefore, I am sure, would Wittgenstein, Hume, Descartes, the behaviorist Skinner and host of other contemporary brain advocates I would rather not mention by name.But these are just an idea of the truly amazing iceberg. There's a contest of zombies unseen in our midst.If previously Robert had experienced being the way that I actually do, then he could have answered my test question at the drop of a hat. He would have been in a position to declare a wholly non-structured, intuitional, non-thought, non-process, wholly Other, numinous portion to his system, which notices techniques purpose from a detached and aloof vantage point and is grasped intuitively as the important ontological ground of the qualities and degrees of sentient experience.Mysterium tremedum et fascinans.
