Related: Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman. According to Wikipedia [1]:
"The book's main thesis is a differentiation between two modes of thought: "System 1" is fast, instinctive and emotional; "System 2" is slower, more deliberative, and more logical."
Intelligent people might rely more on System 2 than ordinary people, which pushes latency up.

- thorncorona 3y agoA large portion of the effects and studies mentioned in that book have been retracted or refuted, just fyi.
- giovannibonetti 3y agoWow, good to know!
- jbotz 3y agoA "large portion" is an exaggeration, and I don't know that any have been "refuted". Some of the studies around "priming" (Chapter 4 of the book) have been called into question for failure of being replicated, and Kahnemann himself has since said that the published studies on priming may not be replicable. Since the publication of the book we've had a "replication crisis" in the relevant literature, so the book may not be on as solid ground as Kahnemann believed when he wrote it, but it's still a very good book with important insights.
