System 1 operates automatically and quickly, handling routine decisions like recognizing faces or completing familiar phrases. System 2 requires effort and concentration, engaging when we solve math problems or make complex choices. Kahneman, who won the Nobel Prize in Economics for his work on behavioral economics, spent decades researching how these systems interact and often conflict.
