If one bit of rationality is one thought it would surely be more rational to maximize the number of "rationality"-bits.
1 bit (with a variance in bytes) of rationality = one random thought
for example: "Where did I put my keys?"
Assuming this, then thinking two thoughts simultaneously would be a way of maximizing rationality in terms of goal-oriented thinking (truth-seeking and other subjective goals)
The problem is, that the mind only has the capabilities to think or process one thought (1 bit) simultaneously to a moment in time x.
t = 0
The velocity of thoughts per second can vary among individuals due to all kinds of circumstances. Fortunately, a high velocity of thoughts/s does not affect intelligence. Or does it?
