Not all evidence is scientific or even intrasubjective

Not intrasubjective? Mind reading?

Even if you can read minds, you're not going to satisfy the people that make these kinds of objections (I'm not referring to Canute, as he obviously agrees that no humans are zombies). They'll say you're reading the thoughts formed by a brain, but you have not proved the existence of any subjective experiencer of those thoughts. Don't forget how they stress that thinking and consciousness are not the same thing, nor is either proof of the existence of the other.
