Intuition: this is a subject that has been studied aggressively for the past few years. Please share your take on "trusting your intuition" or "do you trust your gut v your brain"?
I have been employed diagnosing faults in electronics for many decades. Sometimes the problems could be solved using logic alone, statistically, or by employing the senses. but sometimes the faults were more obscure and these methods failed, So I would listen to my gut. But before pulling things apart I would look for more evidence to prove or disprove the gut feeling. This approach served me well.
no such thing as intuition. One may be reminded subconsciously of a similar event or an experience one heard from another.
Intuition may be the mind putting together pieces of information. My gut feeling tells me to always trust reason when making decisions.
Mostly trust your gut then examine your reactions, our subconscious processes lots of information that we aren't aware of. It has a large bias towards safety first though so it pays to make the effort to examine our prejudices in the light of reason.
Trusting my gut or intuition is a feeling I get from remembering, (usually subliminally), an experience that is similar to an experience I am now confronted with. But feelings are not logical so therefore are often faulty. Deliberative thinking is slower than a gut reaction but more dependable.
I actually just posted something elsewhere on a similar topic. This is my thought on intuition, precognition, that little voice, or whatever you call it.
We our constantly bombarded with sensory input; much more information than we can handle consciously, but our brains process much more than we can acknowledge. Sometimes those warning signals we don't notice are passed into our awareness subliminally.
Intuition is very real and often you can use it to great advantage. It is a gut feeling and you learn some things but it is not real. Imagine your mom looking into your eyes to see if you are lying. She just knew you were and you got caught often because of this. At the end of the day intuition is sort of as reliable as hearing your phone ring and thinking "this has happened before." Of course, that is deja vue.
