Realization about intuition

[no_name]

When high last time, I realized that intuition is not just knowing what a right path/right answer is. It’s about seeing things from multiple angles/seeing ways in which situation could play out/what a person really could be like and then finding appropriate questions/ways that will lead you to the actual truth.

What do you think about intuition? 

 

[Carl-Richard]

I think of intuition as all the inarticulated ways of perceiving information that are not discrete sense perceptions, which seems to touch on some of the things you're mentioning. In other words, you don't know exactly why something is the way it is, or where it came from, or why it occurred to you in that moment (you can only speculate), but somehow it seems important for whatever the situation is. It's not like a set-by-step process of deducing a logical conclusion. It simply occurs to you as if you're "seeing" it (hence it's a way of perceiving, and it's not articulated). This can apply to anything from choosing the premises for a logical argument, to vague feelings about something being off, to being compelled to do something a certain way which you can't explain.
