It is effortful, deliberate, structured thinking. It is gullible and always seeking to make things true, so if System 2 is pre-occupied, we can be fooled into believing things that aren’t true. System 1 is constantly forming a view of the world around it and looking for any subtle changes. It’s what we may think of when we hear the word ‘intuition’.
