This explanation admits no difference between a human and a zombie. Or, for that matter, a human and a Turing machine made out of legos.

Well, OK, I suppose you could add something like 'BB(8000) is 6,' but once you go beyond ZFC, you're going beyond anything required for computation as we know it.

Suppose BB(8000) could be computed: 1) Compute BB(8000). 2) Run the program specified in the article until it either halts or it runs for BB(8000)+1 steps. 3) We then know if the p…

No, you cannot compute BB(k) for a given k. https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=2725
