topic: [[Thinking]] people: #people/danielkahneman created: 2022-12-22 *Think slowly, methodically, using tables and checklists to avoid the bias of [[System 1]].* This reminds me of [[luck and risk are two sides of the same coin]], you can't take the lucky opportunities without having prepared yourself methodically for the risky in life. It's kind of like [[Barbells make you stronger]], you have to prepare, you cannot just be ready System 2 is a method of thinking that involves weighing choices and options, reasoning, it's acting like [[Homo economicus]] making "rational choices" System 2 matters because combining two ways of decision making makes us better when we have time. Invoking system 2 can be done to reduce the [[cognitive biases]] that happen with immediate response. System 2 is also more resistant to [[emotional contagion]], or emotional overay. ##### What would the opposite argument be? [[Don't try to be rational, try to be reasonable]] %% tags: #note/idea | #on/thinking | #on/reaction %% ##### Sources: [[Thinking Fast and Slow]]
