That is nice but Einstein zombie world expects you to talk about the
schizophrenic picture of the world you and your criminal brothers have
created:

John Baez: "On the one hand we have the Standard Model, which tries to
explain all the forces except gravity, and takes quantum mechanics
into account.  On the other hand we have General Relativity, which
tries to explain gravity, and does not take quantum mechanics into
account. Both theories seem to be more or less on the right track --
but until we somehow fit them together, or completely discard one or
both, our picture of the world will be deeply schizophrenic."

You know how the abandon the sinking ship but numerous zombies do not
and that is a big problem in Einstein zombie world:

http://www.edge.org/q2008/q08_5.html
John Baez: "I realized I didn't have enough confidence in either
theory to engage in these heated debates.  I also realized that there
were other questions to work on: questions where I could actually tell
when I was on the right track, questions where researchers cooperate
more and fight less.  So, I eventually decided to quit working on
quantum gravity."
