I read this in 2011. One of minor cute parts I remember is the example of how, because system 2 grabs resources, you can have a conversation while walking, but if you need to really engage your brain you stop walking. More substantially, ISTR a part about how using system 2 is exhausting, and how oppressed people (read: ppl w/ shittier lives) have to engage it more just to navigate their day to day, and so they're already more exhausted by the time they get to school or work when they need to use system 2 to improve themselves or earn money. I believe a study was cited where people doing mentally strenuous tests do better if they drink a sugary drink right beforehand. (Of course I'm not sure at all if that study is worth anything, now.)
