​ But there is a contradiction; if you asked the guy looking at the Washington Monument what the Kremlin looks like he wouldn't be able to say because he's conscious of the monument but not the Kremlin.

If there's only one consciousness which is aware of both Washington and Moscow then asking the body looking at the Washington Monument what the Kremlin looks like would elicit an accurate answer. There's no contradiction in information being transferred from Moscow to Washington any more than transferring it from a toe to a brain.

So there must be 2 consciousnesses.
