Does this mean that people do not engage in deliberative moral reasoning and that all they do is intuitive? Not exactly. System 1 and System 2 operate as a dual system in which we combine fast and automatic responses with slower deliberative cognition. If people really want, they can activate their System 2 to do the hard work of calculating costs and benefits while arresting their instant System 1 responses. They can, in effect, engage in moral reasoning if they can consciously pause their moral intuition.22
