How silly. Probably almost all mental processes are _non_-conscious -- which has nothing whatever to do with the Freudian concept of The Unconscious.

P.S. Justin, someone whose knowledge of Russell was limited to the _History of Western Philosophy_ might quite reasonably think he was a logical positivist. I read it in high school, and for about 7 years made that assumption (since most of what I knew about logical positivism came from those few paragraphs in Russell).
