Two minds in one brain ; The autonomous set of systems (TASS): the parts of your brain that ignore you ; Characterizing the analytic system: avoiding the homunculus problem ; One step at a time: figuring out the way the world is with language ; Hypothetical thinking and representational complexity ; Processing without awareness: there are Martians in your brain! ; When the different kinds of minds conflict: the override function of the analytic system ; The brain on a long leash and the brain on a short leash ; Try it yourself -- Can you override TASS in the famous Four-card selection task and the famous Linda task? ; Don't be sphexish ; Putting the vehicle first by getting the analytic system in the driver's seat -- The robot's secret weapon. Choosing humans over genes: how instrumental rationality and evolutionary adaptation separate ; What it means to be rational: putting the person (the vehicle) first ; Fleshing out instrumental rationality ; Evaluating rationality: Are we getting what we want?
