How we tend to overvalue and overinvest in reason and undervalue and underinvest in intuition.
Intuition is powerful, mysterious, and a pleasure to wield. But developing and then trusting intuition is anathema to our metric-fixated process-consultant-ridden professional world, so we keep doing things the ugly hard way.
