> Instead of eliminating our intuition, we should be learning to train our massive parallel System 2 to help aid the slower logical System 1 process. This looks like a typo; "System 1" and "System 2" should be swapped.

  Is that fixed now? I remember getting this the wrong way round myself too. It's not obvious either way which way it 'should' be, so it is a terrible naming decision.

    I think of "System 1" as the one that evolved first.

I really wish TFaS had chosen actual names for the two systems. Maybe it would have introduced bias into the reader's understanding, but it would have made discussion of the concept much easier to read. Similarly, I don't know why people use the terms "Type 1" and "Type 2" errors when "False positive" and "False negative" are available.
