Intuition can be secular. It is possible to conclude that the crying baby is feeling pain, or make many other types of hypotheses, without providing citations or using a religious framework.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoThat isn't intuition. That's a learned response.
- commoner 5y agoI thought learned responses were tied to some form of conditioning. https://dictionary.apa.org/learned-response https://dictionary.apa.org/learned-response Anyway, my point is that a religious framework isn't needed to have a gut feeling about something.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoYes, which isn't intuition. Intuition is when you have a correct feeling about something even though you have no knowledge of the situation.
- commoner 5y agoThat's too strict of a definition, in my opinion, and I don't understand how conditioning is related to the crying baby example. Intuition can produce incorrect judgments and doesn't need the person to be clueless. Here's a dictionary definition: > (knowledge from) an ability to understand or know something immediately based on your feelings rather than facts https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/intuition https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/intui...
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoNo, it really isn't, not unless you have alternative definitions for "understand" or "know."
- commoner 5y agoIt's trivial to find examples of intuition being incorrect. The APA has a cover story on this: https://www.apa.org/monitor/mar05/misfires https://www.apa.org/monitor/mar05/misfires
