At the risk of sounding like a hypocrite after my "Not finding souls is a victory for atheism" comment:

What does that add? Do we have better models if we say we're all hallucinating the same seemingly-kind-of-objective reality?

What if I'm the only human, you're all p-zombies, BUT all dogs are conscious?

Lots of loaded words in the comments, and hallucination probably takes some of us to places that aren't helpful, but understanding the limits of our perception and understanding gives us better context. Even if we don't understand the limits, it's helpful to know that our reality and reality are separate things. If we don't know we have blind spots, we won't know to check them.

We are all p-zombies, and we voted at our supper club to determine that you don’t actually exist.
