Why do these things need your attention now, even before it has been explicitly requested?

Because your subconscious brain said so. The vast majority of processing done by the brain, auditory or otherwise, is on a subconscious level with the ability to raise a priority interrupt.

Your subconscious should work for you, not the other way around. If it's requesting attention that's not needed, it's faulty and should be fixed.

what the fuck

If your subconscious is triggering on things you don't want it trigging on, it's a liability not an asset. Your OWN BRAIN is a LIABILITY. People are OK with that?

If your brain is not working right it should be retrained so that it is. This site is supposed to be full of programmers and engineers. How the fuck can anyone in here not know how to reprogramme their own brain?
