No? I don't see I need to imagine a parallel universe. I can just imagine a p-zombie existing in our own world.
>I certainly can't without allowing what seems to be absurdity or inconsistency. I'm not sure how you manage to do it.
"absurdity or inconsistency" do not limit my imagination. I do not think such things are realistic, but that doesn't mean I can't imagine them. For a similar example, most ideas of time travel end up inconsistent if you inspect them closely, and yet nonetheless I can imagine them.
