      Liberal application of science-y jargon has not rescued the 2500+ year delusion that Man's Essential Nature is divided between Animal Passions and Divine Reason.https://twitter.com/robsica/status/1152577864526471170?s=20 …

      Dual process theory never made sense as science. Its appeal has to be understood psychoanalytically. It's a strategy for strengthening the goodself (ego ideal), identified with rationality, against the badself (id), identified as irrationality. https://meaningness.com/metablog/guru-papers-monism-control …pic.twitter.com/WwSN3au33r

      The dual-process fantasy was that "we" (the rationality modules) could finally win the forever-war against the evil irrationality modules by enumerating their weapons ("cognitive biases") and defeating them with superior technology.

      We can and must think better; and understanding how we do think now can help. That understanding has to come from detailed naturalistic observations, not self-control fantasies of idealized rationality in a Platonic paradise.

      could you speak a bit more of "detailed naturalistic observations"?

      “The materiality of mathematics: Presenting mathematics at the blackboard” by @greiffenhagen makes this much more concrete, through close study of a video of a lecturer presenting a proof of the completeness theorem for propositional logic. pic.twitter.com/Ru0J6xGfmz

      Dinner yesterday, @michael_nielsen spontaneously using his entire body to deliver a proof! I asked if I could video because it was so cool. He graciously declined, which was a terrible loss for the science of mathematical practice. (Although understandable of course!)
