We don't really even though they say they don't report any disunity i mean that's maybe what you would expect the left brain to do to talk about it like that if that's true then it would be different in other words to use the nagle terminology. The fact that one controls language and that's where i think the bully intuition comes in yes that the right can be silently screaming that they don't want something but like the left hemisphere is the one that gets to talk and right and it could I have no idea actually how gazanica would interpret that question or how he wouldinterpret that question as we might not be able to access that difference.
David and Tamler discuss famous 'split brain' experiments pioneered by Roger Sperry and Michael Gazzaniga. What happens when you cut off the main line of communication between the left and right hemispheres of our brain? Why under certain conditions do the the left and right brains seem like they have different abilities and desires? What does this tell us about the ‘self’? Do we have two consciousnesses, but only that can speak? Does the left brain bully the right brain? Are we all just a bundle of different consciousnesses with their own agendas?

Plus, physicists may be able to determine whether we’re living in a computer simulation – but is it too dangerous to try to find out?
