Are (most all?) people "experts in their own lives" at getting their System 1 needs met, and only appear irrational or crazy from the outside when the observer's own craziness is of sufficiently different flavor? Or am I just rationalizing?

S1 is a processing mode. What do you mean S1 need?

Hmm yea... maybe something like what our sub-conscious survival mechanisms are acting on vs. what we think we want or can understand

Example?
Mindless FOMO twittering?
Paleo-scarcity-wired brain binging salt-sugar-fat?

Yes. Trying to try vs actually trying. TLP-style narcissism

Then I’d say most people are actually frustrated in S1 needs, given the misalignment
Kinda like dumb animal suffering
Takes some S2 dosing to break out

Ok, as in most people are often Pica-ing or something en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pica_(dis ? It seems often S2 doesn't break people out of these from "mere understanding" or information, but sometimes it does... wonder what's going on there

I think being trapped in an S1 and/or S2 strange attractor a data problem, not a processing problem
Cf the chestnut tree in Sartre’s nausea. Sudden luminal realization that your map is wrong and you’re in GIGO. So you go to territory.

So what is S2 role here, trying to navigate you to where you can find the data?

S1 can get truly stuck in a local minimum and unaware of it
S2 can too (trivial logical infinite loop for eg, halting problem in general case) but you have to be much stupider to be stuck in S2. More likely to just ctrl-z out
S1 and S2 kinda observe/interrupt each other I think
