Crazy Ideas Thread, December 2015

polymathwannabe

This thread is intended to provide a space for 'crazy' ideas. Ideas that spontaneously come to mind (and feel great), ideas you long wanted to tell but never found the place and time for and also for ideas you think should be obvious and simple - but nobody ever mentions them.

Rules for this thread:

Each crazy idea goes into its own top level comment and may be commented there.
Voting should be based primarily on how original the idea is.
Meta discussion of the thread should go to the top level comment intended for that purpose.

System I and System II seem to be very unwidely terms because of the numbers. People like Gleb try to find alternatives to use to reach "the masses". There a common tradition of expressing new concepts with Greek and Latin roots. Can anybody think of good names for System I and System II based on Greek or Latin?

There's already several pop-psychology terms that try to point to these two concepts albeit imperfectly:

Left Brain vs. Right Brain Lizard Brain vs. Mammal Brain Instinctual vs. Deliberate Subconscious vs. Conscious Thin slicing vs. planning

I did like Auto-pilot for System I. However it's relevance is diminishing as our understanding of (like flying a plane) changes with new technologies being more able to automatic for us. but maybe that's a good thing? (also AutoConscious) that leaves an opposite to Auto for System 2. Pro-Conscious. Deliberate-Conscious active-conscious... Manual-conscious (Auto/manual as it relates to cars/driving)
