IAWYC, but I want to add that the conscious mind has some strengths— like the ability to carefully verify logical arguments and calculate probabilities— which the unconscious mind doesn't seem to do much of.

I'm not sure how to describe what actually happens in my mind at the times that I feel myself trying to follow my conscious priorities against some unconscious resistance, but the phenomenon seems to be as volitional as anything else I do, and so it seems reasonable to reflect on whether and when this "conscious override" is a good idea.
