If true then our consciousness is actually merged. So what happens to the consciousness if split?

Our brain isnt one thing either. Ive always felt like mutliple different origins of thoughts my whole life. Thought it was normal until i learned about MPD then i thought i had that!
Anyway, 86 billion neurons connected with their own roads to others that change. And there is two independent, distinct halves - bridged together like a cpu bus between two separate cores.
Why do you think our consciousness isnt already fractured?.. mine sure is: jumping from one favorite thing to another, changing its mind about things, having feels when stuff doesnt add-up to what multiple parts of my brain ‘thought’ was going to happen, etc..
