Miller:

Well, if I understand what you two are saying, given epiphenomenalism, the zombie world can be physically indiscernible from the actual world. So the zombie world makes sense. I don’t see how Gretchen can claim that the failure of physical events to cause nonphysical events constitutes a physical difference.

Weirob:

I’ll agree to that. I agree that if we accept epiphenomenalism, then the zombie world can be physically indiscernible from the actual world.

Miller:

So, don’t I win?

Weirob:

Not if you’re trying to convince me of dualism. You’d first have to convince me of epiphenomenalism. The zombie argument works only if we add epiphenomenalism as an extra premise. And I don’t accept the extra premise. Epiphenomenalism seems crazy to me.
