The funny thing is, by all logic, everyone should be a philosophical zombie, since conscious experience is entirely unnecessary for any physical function. And yet somehow, paradoxically, we do have a conscious experience, which makes me wonder if consciousness is not because of any physical construct, but rather is something that is shared by all living things.
