Actually, intuition is actually the cause of pretty much every decision. Think about how people are deciding to vote in the upcoming US presidential election, for example.
- pklausler 10y agoIronically, you just asked us to use intuition in order to support a baseless claim that voters are using only intuition.
- mwfunk 10y agoNo, you intuited that that's what the poster meant. :) It's not like this isn't a well-documented phenomenon. I can't even tell you how many times this or that politician, analyst, blogger, or forum poster has defended some statement by Trump by saying, "he didn't really mean that", seemingly based on nothing more than assuming he must be way more reasonable than his words suggest, while complaining about people taking him too literally. It's become a cliche in this election. Selectively ignoring someone's words based on an assumption that those words don't reflect their beliefs or character or competence is absolutely relying on intuition.
- paulddraper 10y agoSelectively misinterpreting them or removing them from context has similar flaws.
