is conservatism really about tradition?

Have you red Thinking, fast and slow? The author divides the human brain into two systems. System 1 and System 2. The 1 is basically our instinct, it is the first thing that comes to mind. The world's shortest ''IQ test'' relies on our preference of using system 1 ''instinct'' to get us to answer questions quickly without ''thinking''(using system 2).which ends up with us failing the test. The questions aren't hard at all if you think about them. Now this makes it seem as if system 2 is the superior one and system 1 inferior. Yet that is not true. Each system works in its own domain and does what it is best at. And it has been this way ever since. We use system 1 all the time and system 2 rarely.

Now, the leftist they use thinking to arrive at their conclusions. '' We shouldn't be racist because it makes other people feel bad. And when I feel bad I don't like it.''. This is where system 2 thinking fails. System 2 or ''Thinking'' itself considers itself to be better than system 1 because it sorta is. But it often gets overconfident on it's conclusions. Conclusions which it itself makes. Conclusions to problems which are way beyond what it is capable of computing. That's why we have instinct or system 1. We don't have huge amounts of processing power to find out the solution to the race problem. But we don't need to do that. We can just increase the length of our processing instead of increasing the processing speed. And we did just that. Using billions years of evolution we have arrived to the conclusion and that conclusion was ''programed'' into us over time through trial and error. So now when you look at a person and immediately decide on certain things you can be sure that you are making those decisions with accuracy that has been refined over millennia.

tldr: conservatives base their decisions on infinite amount of knowledge while the other party bases theirs on 15 minutes of ''thinking'' they did once.
