Description
Thinking Twice explores the idea that humans have two distinct minds within their brains: one intuitive and the other reflective. -- The intuitive mind is old, evolved early, and shares many of its features with animal cognition. It is the source of emotion and intuitions, and reflects both the habits acquired in our lifetime and the adaptive behaviours evolved by ancient ancestors. -- The reflective mind, by contrast, is recently evolved and distinctively human: it enables us to think in abstract and hypothetical ways about the world around us and to calculate the future consequences of our actions. The evolution of the new, reflective mind is linked with the development of language and the very large forebrains that distinguish humans from other species; it has also given us our unique human form of intelligence. On occasions though, our two minds can come into conflict, and when this happens, the old mind often wins. These conflicts are rationalized so that we, conscious persons, are unaware that the intuitive mind is in control. --
