Hot take of the week: System 2 is a form of system 1. All deliberate reasoning is a form of heuristic decision-making 😌

@chasnew Absolutely. I think this view is not that uncommon among cogsci folk.

@psmaldino I guess cogsci folks just don’t use psych framing so it’s more of an implicit understanding and not explicitly argued.

@chasnew yeah maybe not in writing but I’ve had versions of this conversation a few times.

@psmaldino @chasnew Wait, is the social psychology framing that these are literally two different systems? Not just a shorthand mental model?

@psmaldino @zefferman My impression is that some of them take it literally. Psychology seems to work mostly with mental model anyway. So it’s literal enough at the level of their analysis.

@zefferman @psmaldino But tbh my point was less about system 1 vs system 2 but more about thinking of all types of reason-based decision-making as heuristics.
