Brief reply about dog thing & just naming a part of the brain—I agree!
But saying “system 1” is also not useful unless you have a richer map of how system 1 works. In order for the emotional brain model to be useful, you need affordances for working with it. I got mine from the Bio-Emotive Framework, and since learning that model & technique, I’ve been more able to work with this stuff, whatever you want to call it, and part of working with it involves a level of identifying what’s going on at a level of detail beyond “S1″. There are also of course methods of working with this stuff that don’t require such a framework!
I’m appreciating you pointing this out, since it represents a way in which my comment was unhelpful—I didn’t actually give people these richer models, I just said “there are models out there that I’ve found much better than S1/S2 for talking about the same stuff”. I’ve pitched the models, but not actually sharing much of why I find them so useful. Although I’ve just added a long comment elaborating on some hemisphere stuff so hopefully that helps.
