Copying a quote from that "slow thinking" post because I hadn't seen it and I think is valuable:
> People say that your first reaction is the most honest, but I disagree. Your first reaction is usually outdated. Either it’s an answer you came up with long ago and now use instead of thinking, or it’s a knee-jerk emotional response to something in your past.
Fascinating trying to think of questions people might ask, how I might respond, and why.
