By and large the ‘subconscious’ is outside of our ability to control.
Speak for yourself. ;-)
The task isn’t to bring the subconscious to heel, but to establish filters through which to screen the output of our minds, discarding that which is incompatible with rational thinking.
That’s wasteful and inefficient.
Bear in mind that there are two kinds of bias in the brain: hardware and software. The hardware biases cause software biases to get added, but those biases can also be removed, thereby eliminating the need to work around them.
Conversely, for “hard” biases that can’t be removed, much of the implementation of workarounds can be created by installing compensating biases.
And it isn’t even that complicated—given appropriate (i.e. fast and unequivocal) feedback, the brain can make the software revisions on its own, without any complex conscious processes involved.
