Digital SAT Reading and Writing Practice Question #594

Text 1: Behavioral economist Daniel Kahneman posits that human decision-making is driven by two distinct systems: System 1, which is fast, intuitive, and highly emotional, and System 2, which is slower, deliberative, and logical. Kahneman argues that because humans rely overwhelmingly on System 1 to navigate daily life, we are highly susceptible to cognitive biases, leading to systemic, irrational economic choices that deviate from optimal mathematical models. Text 2: Evolutionary psychologist Gerd Gigerenzer asserts that what Kahneman labels as irrational "biases" are actually highly efficient ecological heuristics. Gigerenzer argues that in real-world scenarios—where time, processing power, and information are severely limited—fast and frugal heuristics drastically outperform complex, deliberative logic. Thus, these rapid, intuitive decisions are not failures of human cognition, but rather brilliant evolutionary adaptations optimized for an unpredictable natural world. Based on the texts, how would Gigerenzer (Text 2) most likely evaluate Kahneman's characterization of System 1 in Text 1?
