<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div>This answer from a smart person like you is completely surprising to me. As it seems so completely and obviously wrong. The visual knowledge of my right field of vision is in my left hemisphere, and vice versa. I know, now, that redness (the quality of my knowledge of strawberries) is the same in both hemispheres, since I can experience them both at the same time. If there was a cut, such that the two hemispheres of knowledge were no longer computationally bound into one unified subjective experience. They were effectively two isolated non computationally bound sets of subjective knowledge of subjective awareness of half of what I could see (there would more or less be two isolated half consciousnesses in each half of the brain. I would still know, and remember that redness was the same before, so I would still surely know it was still the same, even though the two hemispheres have been separated (and consciously removed from each other.)</div><div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Aug 10, 2023 at 1:33 PM John Clark <<a href="mailto:johnkclark@gmail.com">johnkclark@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">On Wed, Aug 9, 2023 at 10:37 AM Brent Allsop <<a href="mailto:brent.allsop@gmail.com" target="_blank">brent.allsop@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><br></div></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr"><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><div><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">><i> </i></span><i>Hi John,</i><div dir="auto"><i>The left hemisphere of your brain does more than just "infer from behavior", the nature of the qualities in your right hemisphere.</i></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><font size="4">The person I'm talking to right now doesn't know and will never know<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </span>what it would be like to be just the left hemisphere of Brent Allsop's brain if the<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </span>Corpus callosum<span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> was cut and there was no connection with the right hemisphere. </span></font></div><div class="gmail_quote"><font size="4"><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></span></font></div><div class="gmail_quote"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:large"><span class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"> </span>John K Clark</span><br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="auto"><div class="gmail_quote"><div class="gmail_attr"><br></div></div></div>
