Philosophers would reply, at least the good ones, that they don't rely on the associative system in their delibirations. Rather, they use System II, the same system that Kahneman uses to make his own deliberations. The difference is there are no empirical mechanisms for the philosophers to check if they have gone wrong, but that has nothing to do with intuition.

[PavelSTL]

Another awesome presentation by Kahneman. I'm wondering if there are any bad "priming" effects that result from the PreMortem practice, you know the "self-fulfilling prophecy" kind. I work in a large organization and I know that quite often doubters do need to be surpressed because nothing will get ever done.

All the reasons why intuition is not a valid source of knowledge. Too bad that academic philosophers are not paying attention!
