Subconsciouses are amazing things.

Mine is astonishingly good at all sorts of stuff. It will frequently prompt me to do some moderately random thing, or to do something in a particular way, and it will later turn out that doing that had some fantastic consequence such as completely avoiding a potential large problem, even though that problem hadn't consciously crossed my mind at all at the time my subconscious prompted me to make the decision.

Sometimes this gets taken to extremes, and I find myself behaving strangely and apparently erratically for an hour at a time, and I'm consciously thinking the whole time ‘I shouldn't be behaving like this’ but I keep doing it nonetheless because the hunch is too strong, and about 24 hours later I suddenly realise that there was an incredibly good reason for me doing so which my subconscious didn't bother to explain to me.

It's an absolutely amazing achievement; a tour de force of prediction, pattern-spotting and (on occasion) pre-emptive tactical planning. It's a much better driver than I am and has saved my life at least once behind the wheel; it programs at least as well as I do when I'm consciously thinking about it; I rely on it implicitly in so many circumstances that I'm sure I'd be completely helpless if it were swapped with someone else's.

I just wish that, once in a while, it would SHOW ITS WORKING.
