[ExI] [Extropolis] Could I get some upvotes for my answer to this question?

[Brent Allsop]

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.)
