Attention will remain a bottleneck for unified reactions

In situations where task queue length is limited, people typically perform tasks immediately or delayed for long periods, whereas people not under pressure to prioritize will work more evenly. I propose that the global brain will tend to follow the same pattern, despite its ability to think in a massively parallel manner, if the reaction planned is a unified response, its attention must focus and queue actions. This has large implications for global decision-making.

Human behavior does not follow a Poisson distribution when priorities are taken into account, as cited here.
