I personally am inclined to think that Ziz was wrong about the hemispheres; my own view is that split-hemisphere patients seem to have a distinct consciousness in each hemisphere because the hemispheres have been physically severed from each other, and when the hemispheres are attached both integrate (along with the rest of the brain) into a single unified consciousness. Accordingly, I think the distinct personalities were induced in the same fashion as tulpas/headmates typically are, rather than reflecting a preexisting neurological reality that’s been uncovered.

Obviously. That’s why it’s connected to this blog post.
