I'd have to agree with Richard on this one. Living consistently
unconsciously ignores the benefits of simple conscious processes like
ensuring you don't eat too much junk food, or minimizing detrimental
conflict. Neither of these positions occur naturally or unconsciously. I'd
say the willingness to go to war over various ideologies obviously doesn't
use much useful concious thought.
That isn't to say that all actions should be concious. Unconscious thought
provides the human race with some of its most creative and enjoyable
attributes and creations.

(Blind) Faith, Apathy, Hypocrisy seemed to be a pretty good start:

It seems that you think that such external clarity is incompatible with this
list? I'd havtuh really disagree with. Many of the people on this list are
very aware of the natural beauty that surrounds us.
(and besides if you were living in Calgary, you'd have a pretty hard time
determining that it really is spring =)
