I think the real world qualifies quite well. People who listen to their System 2 achieve much more than people who are slaves to their System 1.
If you want stronger "optimization forces", take away the safety net. Hunger and pain are excellent incentives. Not many people would allow themselves to get addicted to WoW if it means they'll become homeless in a short while.
I think people who mainly listen to system 2 frequently suffer from akrasia. Productive people usually feel motivated to do what they are doing and that's system 1.
