I think the dominant thought on LW is that both Kahneman’s system I and system II are important and useful. It’s not that one is more rational than the other.
I don’t disagree, though “rationality” as outlined in the sequences is, if I understood correctly, basically a battery of methods for dealing with the weaknesses of system I by using system II style diagnosis & analysis of habitual irrationality in system I & having it absorb corrected patterns of thought. This process is most likely what people in general dislike.
