On the s1/s2 thing, there are alternatives and I try to promote them when possible, especially since around these parts people tend to use s1/s2 for a slightly different but related purpose to their original formulation anyway. The alternative names for the clusters (not all the source names line up exactly, though):
The fact that there are subtly different purposes for the alternative naming schema could be a strength.
If I’m talking about biases I might talk about s1/s2. If I’m talking about motivation I might go for elephant/rider. If I’m talking about adaptations being executed I’d probably use blue minimising robot/side module.
I’m not sure whether others do something similar but I find the richness of the language helpful to distinguish in my own mind the subtly different dichotomies which are being alluded to.

The alternative names for the clusters (not all the source names line up exactly, though):
s1: near, concrete, id, fast, yin, hot, elephant, unconscious, machine, outside
s2: far, abstract, superego, slow, yang, cold, rider, conscious, monkey/homunculus, inside
I think near/far the best, but I think we’re stuck with s1/s2 at this point due to momentum.
