The problem of having a conscious mind seems like the single most useful thing. The whole “be a conscious being” aspect seems very useful compared to the huge gap between conscious and unconscious minds which otherwise seem to be something like how the brain doesn’t have a conscious mind, but is pretty pretty far off from it.
Of course, you could also try other approaches. Your mind could be a computer or a CPU, or you could try some different approach.
I suggest that maybe having one mental brain that does the opposite something is more useful than one mental brain that “does both things”.

This seems relevant to Qiaochu’s interests.
I can’t think of anything else that is more relevant to Qiaochu and Qiaochu.
