Yeah; trying to "system-2 all the things" is indeed ludicrous, and is simply unsustainable in terms of energy, which we can well attest from our own experiences

Yeah; trying to "system-2 all the things" is indeed ludicrous, and is simply unsustainable in terms of energy, which we can well attest from our own experiences. Kahneman himself doesn't advocate that extreme, but he does nudge you in that direction.
Also see: the failed collaboration with his intuition-focused colleague, Gary Klein. They tried to map "the boundary conditions that separate true intuitive skill from overconfident and biased impressions." They couldn't arrive at an agreement.
They documented their failure to reach an agreement in their paper: "Conditions for intuitive expertise: A failure to disagree"[1].
