The Personality of System Two

The primacy of conclusions does not mean that your mind is completely closed. Your beliefs and even your emotional attitude may change at least a little when you learn that the risk of an activity you disliked is smaller than you thought. The information about lower risks will also change your view of the benefits for the better. We see here a new side of the personality of system two. Until now, i have mostly described it as a more or less acquiescent monitor which allows considerable leeway to system one. I have presented system two as active in deliberate memory search complex computations, comparisons, planning and choice.
