[QUOTE="vermeulean, post: 29343, member: 112"] as a matter of course, the entire distinction arises from some value-laden judgement on what sort of neurotype is [I]better calibrated[/I]. it's only a problem when people try to treat "awareness" as unilateral... i mean, then it sort of acquires some political scope with which to disbar people who are in disagreement with you. like here, for instance. if some feature of my neural architecture nudges me toward an outcome-driven decision making procedure, which in arguendo produces optimal real-world payoffs, there will likely be a very strong presumption of awareness which might not reflect any articulable rationale, contrary to cases where people are said to be [I]overthinking it [/I]when acting indecisively[I]. [/I]since i can't map out your neural architecture or even make sense of how you might think, i'll probably begin to premise the distinction on things that i find value in, and the short-hand tools of psychology create labels for drawing out an easier presumption of awareness. but obviously not all thinking is completely equal, and some people just don't have anything of value to contribute in terms of their thought. but trying to determine whether or not you fall into the mindless camp is the general trap. requires a leap of faith to answer [I]no[/I], but that's probably better than simply assigning weight to the cattle-branding of the majority...
