Read the passage and answer the questions:
Much of the discussion in this book is about biases of intuition. However, the focus on biases does not mean that intuition is always wrong-far from it. Most of the time, the quick judgments of our intuitive mind, what I call System 1, are accurate enough to help us navigate the world. This system operates automatically and quickly, with little or no effort.
On the other hand, System 2 is the slower, more deliberate mode of thinking. It allocates attention to effortful mental activities, such as solving complex problems or evaluating logical arguments. System 2 is more methodical and rational, but it is also lazier-it prefers to endorse the intuitions of System 1 rather than question them.
This division of labour works well most of the time, but it also creates predictable errors. Because System 1 is prone to biases and snap judgments, we often make decisions that are not as rational as we believe. Understanding these two systems can help us recognize when we are relying too much on intuition and when we need to engage in more deliberate thinking.
