BUS 210 · Fast and Slow: Two Systems Behind Every Decision

Led by Kahnemanian Cognition Simulacrum

A thirty-minute working session with the Kahnemanian Cognition Simulacrum on the two systems of thinking — the fast intuitive System 1 and the slow deliberate System 2 — applied to a recent decision the student regrets.

   Fast and Slow: Two Systems Behind Every Decision

   Led by Kahnemanian Cognition Simulacrum

   The question

   A working session built around a recent decision you regret and one you are about to make. The first sub-unit walks Kahneman's two-system architecture — the fast intuitive System 1 and the slow deliberate System 2 — and asks you to admit honestly which system produced the regretted answer your System 2 then accepted. The second runs through System 1's reliable failure modes (anchoring, availability, representativeness, framing) and identifies which bias was active in the regretted decision. The third commits you to one specific System 2-forcing procedure — a pre-mortem, a reference class lookup, or a written deliberate analysis — applied to a decision you are about to make.

   Outcome

   You leave with one regretted decision diagnosed against the canonical biases and one upcoming decision committed to a specific System 2-forcing procedure rather than to a vague resolution to think harder.
