A Quote by Anthony Green

When you're in a daze - whether it's from running or a hangover or whatever else - I think that ideas from your subconscious can slip through more easily.

I think that process is just easier if the superego has just gone away in disgust for the day.
The problem with natural language processing and the thing that really holds the technology back, is that when it crashes and burns, it's horrific.
