There's a GREAT book that discusses this phenomenon called "Society of Mind": https://www.amazon.com/Society-Mind-Marvin-Minsky/dp/0671657...

Every HN'er should read it. Basically, we have all these "mini-mentalities" in our brain, but they "talk" (or don't talk) together in different ways. Definitely interesting if you're an AI guy.
