11:33 am [Link]	Zombies more subtle than ninjas FADE IN around a serious-looking group of uniformed military officers. At the head of the table, a senior, heavy-set man, GENERAL FRED, speaks. GENERAL FRED: The reports are confirmed. New York has been overrun... by zombies. COLONEL TODD: Again? But we just had a zombie invasion 28 days ago! GENERAL FRED: These zombies... are different. They're... philosophical zombies. CAPTAIN MUDD: Are they filled with rage, causing them to bite people? COLONEL TODD: Do they lose all capacity for reason? GENERAL FRED: No. They behave... exactly like we do... except that they're not conscious. (Silence grips the table.) the rest of the philosophical horror movie By Eliezer Yudkowsky.
