      if this isn’t subtweeting my last, it’s a startling coincidence… this table is apparently drawn from Kahneman’s book (which I haven’t read), but could be straight out of the psychology column of _Cosmopolitan_ magazine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_process_theory#Systems …pic.twitter.com/GyyEYJ9nK2

      Kahneman is supposedly a reputable psychologist, though

      you’d think he could come up with something better than intuition vs rationality which is not exactly a new distinction but I suppose the consumers of psychology best-sellers want to hear that men are from mars and women are from venus

      I think 2 system is a pretty good first split category for mental activity. Yes, everything other than conscious is a big diverse bag, but the conscious bit is very salient. Psych got in big trouble by trying to invent novel nonintuitive facts; I support saying the obvious.

      It’s definitely helpful to point out that much of mental activity isn’t rational, and that non-rational != irrational, and that non-rational activity can be valuable.

      My objection was to lumping together all non-rational stuff in one category. The wiki page table (drawn apparently from Kahneman’s pop book) aligns dozens of different distinctions that I think are probably mostly orthogonal, or nearly so.

          If one actually values non-rational stuff, one will explore the diversity of it, rather than collapsing it into a single category.

          Yes. One way to understand "two systems" in a historical context is as a program to resurrect "the unconscious" from the fuzzy Freudian realm, to see as adaptive cognition. To me, the big take away was that unconscious usually isn't irrational. I haven't read the book either.
