See this. My System 1 was worried that being positive had hidden downsides. So I did a bunch of research and tried to identify all possible downsides. But I was still worried. (It’s possible that my System 1 has updated since then however.)
I think it’s because system 1 and system 2 update differently. System 1 often needs experiential evidence in order to update, while system 2 can update using logical deduction alone. Doing a bunch of research is effective in updating system 2, but less so system 1. I’d guess that if you continue being positive and and don’t experience any downside to it, then eventually your system 1 will update.
Any concrete examples?
