Meditation/prayer can seemingly be used to talk more directly to system 1. System 1 reports that it is a different kind of processing but doesn’t have any access to magic knowledge and that other claims about talking to system 1 probably involve bog standard delusions of grandeur and other biases. It definitely doesn’t use language and the comm channel is weirdly insanely high resolution in some dimensions and insanely low resolution (single bit) in others. It seems to agree that the parallel/serial processing metaphor is better than most as far as the system 1⁄2 distinction goes, which it also thinks only captures some useful dimensions.
