Hive gut works with how I think about it. Your subconscious is a massively parallel processor whereas your conscious mind is much closer to serial. There's stuff going on down there that you know is important, it's just not reaching the surface.

I sometimes get these feelings that something is wrong with a set of logic but I don't know why, if I dwell on it I can usually figure out what that feeling was. The gut feeling is there for a very real reason, you just can't always consciously put your finger on it.
