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?

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.

Hmm ya. We are trying to reason about ecologies, after all. I do still find it curious that sometimes data immediately leads to behavior change and other times it takes repeated exposure. Habit as attractors -- glider guns in CA - of varying stability?
