The document discusses the importance of sorting in manufacturing, emphasizing the role of quality control on production lines. It highlights how sorting is essential for maintaining brand reputation and personal decision-making, as the brain continuously sorts information to prioritize what is important. Additionally, it suggests that individuals can train their mental 'sorter' to focus on opportunities rather than dangers, leading to improved awareness and perceived luck.

1. The Sorter

2. I've always been fascinated by those
people who work on assembly lines.

3. The people who watch the finished
product go by, and make sure they all
meet quality standards.

4. Whatever it is, cans of beans or
chocolate covered cherries, they go
zooming by, and they are somehow
supposed to make a visual inspection
of what's OK and what's not OK.

5. Clearly, not the most exciting job, but
still important. If any company starts
to be known for producing less than
quality goods, their reputation and
sales will plummet.

6. Certain companies are so worried
about brand image that they make
significant efforts to destroy all
products with even the slightest
defect. Otherwise, some worker might
take it home, people might see it. A
world famous brand, with some kind
of flaw.

7. In all levels of production, from
receiving the raw materials to the
finished goods, sorting is crucial.

8. Without sorting you'd have junk mixed
in with the good stuff.

9. On a personal level, sorting is also one
of the most important skills to learn.
The quicker you can do it, the better.

10. It's so important that part of your
brain's function is to sort. The FASTEST
part of your brain is the sorter.

11. Think of it this way. Your conscious
brain can perceive up to 40 bits per
second, according to scientific
research.

12. Your subconscious can perceive up to
1,000,000 bits per second, according
to the same research.

13. Your SORTER (technically called your
preconscious processor) has to sift
through the MILLION bits of
information hitting your senses every
single second, and then decide what's
important, and what's not.

14. How does it know?

15. If you don't do ANYTHING, it will be
stuff that's hard wired into the system.
Scary things, sexy things, anything that
represents money. Anything that's
been on your mind lately.

16. Like if you've got a speech coming up,
you may see or hear PLENTY of things
that remind you of public speaking.

17. If you're in love, you'll see plenty of
things that remind you of your crush.

18. Your sorter can also find opportunities
as well. Things that will lead to the
things you want.

19. Since your brain is hard wired to be
more aware of danger than pleasure
(since danger can end you), it's
naturally easier to notice scary stuff.

20. But if you learn to "train" your sorter
to find opportunities, it will find them.

21. Instead of relying on ancient
programming, you'll start seeing things
in a completely new way.

22. Your friends will all think you've just
started getting lucky.

23. But YOU'LL understand what's REALLY
happening.
