the thinker

i dont think i've ever really been a big believer in the subconscious and especially in the extent of its importance.
but a few days ago i was trying to figure out this problem, and i spent a lot of time on it and still never figured it out. but since then i've had a few thoughts about somehow using the changing states of outputs on this hardware to feed them into NAND logic gates to get a certain  outcome. and a few times i remembered how an ex-employer of mine designed this timer circuit. it wasnt until after i finally "had the idea" (from god knows where) about how to solve my problem using the NAND gate, that i realized that my buddy's circuit had also been a NAND gate.
its like my subconscious was trying to contact me, to hand me "my" new idea.
for a while now i've found it "peculiar" if nothing else the way we all of a sudden find fully-formed "ideas".

the matrix is forever struggling to make energy collection from "human farms" as efficient as possible.
in a relatively recent trend, as a means to increase the human energy yields, factors have been introduced to force higher neural activity in humans by increasing their workloads. this has led to increases in "multitasking", which was predicted. what was NOT predicted was that multitasking would translate into only minimal increases in productivity and yield, and in many cases actually proves to be a hinderance.
ironically enough, the deffinitive statement on this about the nature of "multitasking" comes from one of the human livestock:"multitasking means speanding 15% of your time on this, 10% on that, 15% on something else, and then the remaining 60% on something else, all of these"tasks" have not "moved" very much because you cant do 50% here, 50% here, and 50% there because that would make 150%
