I don't see why this is relevant to the previous comment or discussion. Can you explain at more length? Whether thinking is conscious or unconscious seems to me uncorrelated with whether it's rational or irrational.
Dear asr - The issue was the emotional worth in relation to thinking. Here is a better quote:
"Here’s the strange part: although these predictions concerned a vast range of events, the results were consistent across every trial: people who were more likely to trust their feelings were also more likely to accurately predict the outcome. Pham’s catchy name for this phenomenon is the emotional oracle effect."
Perhaps reason is not best tool for being accurate?
PS. LessWrong is too slow: "You are trying to submit too fast. try again in 1 minute." ...and: "You are trying to submit too fast. try again in 7 minutes." LOL "You are trying to submit too fast. try again in 27 seconds."
