Parallel or Squential : Intuition is Stupid?

Trying to understand the human mind using analogies with any other sort of thing, the computer for instance, is ridiculous. I am not going to do this, or at least try not to abuse it. I will only use the two terms, Sequential and Parallel which are heavily used in the computer world.

When I am facing a decision in life, or even in a card game such poker, i usually rely on my instinct. The whole process takes a fraction of a second, less than the time to blink. Afterwards, this is usually followed by trials of educated evaluation of the situation. Finally, the quick blink wins the race. Although the result may sometimes be deceiving, but instinct and intuition proved for me to give good results most of the time.

In an attempt to dissect intuition, my brain must have been evaluating simultaneously, independently and very quickly the outcomes of possible scenarios. I am not pretending anything, but just digging more into this intuition thing which i believe every body have it. So, I tried to exploit this further. If is succeed to prolong this blink i will then understand what is happening meanwhile. It wasn't easy but i was able to do it few times. The longest blink i achieved was just before i decided to write this. It was an important decision this time. Regardless the topic of the decision, the simplest way i could figure to describe this experience is as follows:
Thinking about the options in a cyclic manner where the time portion dedicated to thinking about a single option is small enough not to influence the option which will be studied right after it, also for a very brief instance of time.

So what seemed to be Parallel thinking turned out to be just Sequential. Nevertheless, as the time portions assigned to options are shorter and shorter the advantages and disadvantages of one option tend to have less influence on the other options. This allows me to study each option independently of the others and even away of any external or previous misconceptions.

After I went so deep with this idea, maybe for days, i suddenly woke up and asked myself: "Is this independence in thoughts, which sounds great for a glance, anything but stupidity?" Yes, this is stupidity, because not using previous experience is just it. And evaluating related options on different grounds is "intuitively" stupid. Because am a bit dissatisfied about this conclusion, my next experiment will be to take each option, study it for so long before switching to studying another also for so long. Let them to influence each other. Maybe repeat this process for two or three times before taking the decision. But wait.. before this.. I should find a way not to blink!

My enemy Hunger

I am currently fighting hunger by creating a blog. As i am sure none will read it i will take my time writing this comment, hoping my old friend, hunger, would forget about me for minutes.
Hunger approaches me sneakily in a dark attempt to make me surrender. Of course i will not fall. There is no way i go to the damn kitchen right now. And i resist his struggles. And i resist deciding to keep on writing. at the end i am just laying down on my back now, in a very comfortable position. I have a huge advantage over my opponent. I am not even consuming the least amount of energy. I am happy i can reach this sort of trance where i can enjoy my enemy being around, very close but incapable to take over. I can smell him, i am very sure he will find me. This is the nice thing about it, when you feel the time of confrontation is down to just few seconds. Ya thats it.. i am going to the restaurant downstairs now!
