Of course your articles and the Wiki's serve different purposes. But I'm not talking about purposes, I'm talking about effects. I think that at the end of the day, when people summarize what they got from either, the summaries of people who read one won't be easily distinguished from the summaries of people who read the other.
More mundanely, I did an intro to rationality presentation yesterday, and much of it was dual process theory. I found what really helped people "get it" was very detailed real-life examples, not only of which system does what, but also of how they interact. I had diagrams, animations, the elephant and rider metaphor... but what really did it for people were short stories with many "this is a system 1 action", "here's where system 2 integrates pieces of information" and so on thrown in.
Hm, that's actually a testable theory about the InIn article and the Wiki. That's something we can actually do, and get some real-world results. Thanks for the idea!
Good point about the short stories, that's something to think about. Much appreciated!
