What does Alien Hand syndrome imply for Free Will. When you

It's not even that only one is represented in the mind. It's more that only one has control of your vocal cords.

I don't care. I just came here to say that sometimes, at night, I get the sudden fear that my hand is going to start punching or strangling my sleeping girlfriend, and that I have to mentally focus on keeping control of it.

You're suffering from a condition known as being an inherently violent male.

But only the actions of one half actually come from the mind of the individual. They can pick something up with one hand and think "Yep I wanted to do that", but the other half acts completely independently of their will. Meaning only one half of the brain is responsible for making you feel like you're in control of your actions while both halves control your actions.

This is wrong. The other half is a full person just like "you" (the you of the left half of what used to be your whole brain) only it is in a partial vegetative state, wishing to scream out it is there but unable to. You have no connection to this other person, so you can't be conscious of whether or not it is aware. It is.

Sounds like spooky bullshit to me. It isn't a whole person with it's own personality. It's an aspect of you, it's just that the process that makes you think you're in control of that aspect gets severed and so it's able to act on it's own without the usual sense of agency you have over its actions.

Clearly if you suffer from this, you have one less degree of freedom. It's one less thing you have control over, but that doesn't imply that you have no control. It's a spectrum and not an absolutes thing.

Things we can't comprehend have a way of sounding like spooky bullshit. It's actually quite grounded. It's a matter of better understanding how consciousness works. It's been shown experimentally in various ways that it can be split and also combined between multiple brains.

Did you just assume my gender?

I don't engage in debate with cis scum. Sorry.
