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 program ever halts, and then have a proof within ZFC whether or not ZFC is sound.

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

Not only shades of anorexia. Looked at the recovered memory movement in the 90s where unhappy women decided either on their own or with the help of psychologists that the reason for their unhappiness was that they had been sexually abused as an infant and 'suppressed it.' Articles were being published all over the place talking about this "awakening" with claims 1/4 of all women had been abused in this way. Of course, the money to be made on these women wasn't as much and the movement had a natural enemy in the form of the wrongly-accused parents. Now parents are co-opted, "trans son or dead daughter". The mind is incredibly flexible and it's easy to convince kids of just about anything. And young women are extremely vulnerable to suggestion. The whole thing is a total and utter shitshow and extracting ourselves out of this mess is going to be incredibly painful and slow.
