The Science of Thinking

by Veritasium

This is the simplest explanation of System 1 and System 2 I have found on the internet that still retains all of the important information.

My take on this video

This is the simplest explanation of System 1 and System 2 I have found on the internet that still retains all of the important information.

IF you think you are you and you are in control of everything, independently, and you course your life consciously nonstop, I have bad (GOOD!) news for you.

But why bother to explain it here, when Veritasium already does it in the video, really well.

The analogy and the visualization of System 1 and System 2 is a pretty good way to demonstrate a complex abstract concept, that usually contradicts what you tend to believe.

And he bypassed our redirection mechanisms by using the exact same principles he mentions in the video. Pretty fun.
