The sheer number of cognitive biases presented in TFA, and the overlap of the categorisations had me bamboozled.

But yeah, if these are System 1 staples then I can imagine how they might have made do for regular people for a long time. Some biases and prejudices affirm survival in a less civilised setting eg prehistoric tribes that compete for land and food with neighbouring tribes.

So perhaps it is the compact of civilisation that opens up the vistas for System 2 thinking to yield benefits.
