Hi Russell Standish
Not so. A zombie can't converse with you, a real person can.
By definition a (philosophical) zombie can converse with you. A zombie
is en entity assumed not having consciousness, nor any private
subjective life, and which behaves *exactly* like a human being.

Hi Stathis Papaioannou
If a zombie really has a mind it could converse with you.
If not, not.
If true, then you have demonstrated the non-existence of zombies
(zombies, by definition, are indistinguishable from real people).
However, somehow I remain unconvinced by this line of reasoning...
