There is absolutely a subconscious super-brain within our minds that we can sometimes observe and even control to an extent. It can calculate things a lot faster that we consciously do. It's how we dream of elaborate things, it's how we can approximate distances, it's how our intuition works. It can be turned into your personal assistant with enough training and awareness. I believe you can become a genius if you train this part of the mind to interact with your conscious.
Conscious is the one calculating. Subconscious is more like a huge archive and is good at fetching from the archive or using your past experiences to approximate. It seems like fast because you have already learned it. But only the conscious brain handles totally new knowledge, and subconcious brain learn the approximations based on that.
Yeah, I think that my interpretation was an oversimplification and things are pretty nuanced. I gotta learn more about this stuff if I want to achieve the things I dream of. Thanks for the insight!
So are you a genius or are you just giving up on the grind? Get back to the gym bro we need to train out subconscious super brain
