A breaker trips when the demand for current is excessive, causing all devices on that circuit to lose power at once. In contrast, the response to mental overload is selective and precise: System 2 protects the most important activity, so it receives the attention it needs; "spare capacity" is allocated second by second to other tasks.

development of a happy future for humanity. So, I advocate for such a
situation in which scientists would speak louder.

changes, etc. — Eraldo Banovac
