Taboo “processing.” There are at least two things you or katydee could mean by this, one of which is processing using System I, and one of which is processing using System II. The former seems extremely valuable to train with respect to the kind of information System I should be good at processing, e.g. fast-moving dangerous things, the body language and facial tics of other humans, etc.
On a tangent, the terms “System I” and “System II” do not signal anything in their naming. Something a bit more descriptive would be nice. Like “Twitch System” and “Chess System”, or really just about anything that invokes some imagery.
I could be wrong but I think that was regarded as a feature not a bug when they were named. The authors didn’t want them to become little homunculi with personalities that gradually built through folk lore. I think given the way the popular scientific press operates I think this was actually very prescient. Just think how the idea of your “reptile brain” has entered the popular consciousness...
Are you attributing dual process theory to CFAR? In any case, situational awareness is not rationality, nor is it indispensable for it. I don’t argue that it’s nice to have, as are many other things, although I’d worry about trade-offs.

I wasn’t aware it was called that or pretty much anything about its history until just now. I’ll edit.
