$

Fast thinking includes a wide range of mental illusions, of biases and even prejudices that can be taught to the young, but are not inherent in humanity. it also includes a wide range of bogus moral panics that can be drummed up at any time. Let us examine the common ingrained prejudices of our times, and some of the latest panics, and what we are finally able to do about them now that they are firmly in the shrinking minority.

Firstly, as always, whatever their thoughtless screaming may be about, we can, to a first fast thinking approximation simply do more of it. But we can pause and think more slowly about how to counter the prejudices and panics that we see in the MSM and on antisocial media. In fact we have a number of notable slow thinkers in government and issue organizations and such. While we do that, however, we must recognize the slow thinkers who are paid to invent more of it.
