I found the writeup valuable in terms of provoking deeper thought and discussion.
However, I think perhaps the author is mixing up 'both wits' (logical vs emotional thinking) with the two systems thinking from the TFaS book(intuitive vs logical thinking), at least in the writeup.
I am more inclined to believe that intuition and logic based thought processes are superior to one that has an emotional dimension, at least for running a business.
As an example, I think if in the Cheezburger case the author was less emotional, he would have responded rather than reacted to the perceived threat- which is arguably a better way to deal with the situation.
Lack of affect(especially fear) is a defining quality of psychopathy, which happens to be very common amongst CEOs [1].
