Socratus,
The unconsciousness is the greater part of our minds. The intuitional, emotional, sensational, primordial types of intelligences (and no so intelligent) are parts of the subconsciousness. The size of a thought is not measured by the time of activity it overtakes. The size of a thought is measured by the importance it overtakes in our activity. There is a great difference.
I like studying physics by analogy of a human being, and studying a human being by analogy of the society. It we look at humanity, the important figures that have changed more our lives, our world, and our system have all been extreme of some kind, critical, powerful, radical, inconformist and convinced. Good examples are Napoleon, Urban II (the pope), third Duke of Alba, Hitler, Bismark, Columbus, Lenin, Reagan... And in history class we study them, not anyone else (I'm not saying by this that these men were good, or great, or better than others, or more valuable...) Well the same in the mind. Hitler in 10 years revolutionized Germany and confronted Europe and the World, just like the feeling of anger during 5 minutes can change my view of the whole week.
What I'm trying to say is that although it may seem that we live in a rational, intelligent, scientifico-mathematical world, full of consciousness, it is because we live in the spacetime point where consciousness has occupied maximum of the mind, but still the sub/un consciousness, magical things, myths, religions, fanatism, feelings live and mark our lives and being.
