I don't think it's impossible to prove comp true. If comp were not true then it would be possible to make partial zombies.
I think that's the inference we're arguing. It's certainly not obvious to me.
If partial zombies are possible then there would be no difference between you having qualia or lacking qualia,
There would be no 3p observable difference in other people. Just showing that a partial zombie is possible doesn't show that you are one.
which is equivalent to saying consciousness does not exist;
I think it is equivalent to the idea that some (humans) have souls and some (animals) don't. I don't believe that, but it's logically possible.
not just that it is epiphenomenal but that it isn't there at all.
Maybe it isn't. I only know about my own. Brent
So if consciousness exists, comp must be true.
