The two sides of the brain started to work together they're not fighting anymore they're working together to solve the problem and that's the idea now they can't communicate in the normal way. So they come up with other ways to communicate like stabbing yourself with a pencil or doing in a way that um allows I guess the idea is it this would then allow the left brain to be able to articulate what's going on.
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?
