I mean no offense by this, but intuition literally means acquiring knowledge without an explanation. Did you mean experience or are you telling GP that you cannot explain how you do it?
- keepamovin 9mo agoNo that is not what it means. I did not mean experience; I did not mean that I cannot explain how I do it; I meant what I said: intuition. I can explain how I do it; I can even explain how it works (as far as I think), but I don't really know how it works, and I don't care. I just care that I can do it, and that it works.
- dugidugout 9mo agoThey mean to distinguish intuition, which draws on experience and can only be reflected on, from experience, which deals in actionable heuristics. Any appeal to intuition you make will fall on experiential advice when pressed. Intuition _works_ here, but if you mean to share your wisdom, you must translate it through experience, which is the actual concept we communicate through.
- mathgeek 9mo agoEssentially yes, thanks. I was focused on the difference between “I used my intuition (which you cannot be taught because I cannot explain it)” and “I can explain how you can develop a skill”.
- keepamovin 9mo agoI can explain how to develop the skill of intuition
- mathgeek 9mo agoNot possible, you're likely using the wrong words here. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intuition which does mention the modern misuse to mean intuition and reasoning combined. Anything that uses conscious reasoning (and thus can be taught or acquired as a skill) is not intuition.
- keepamovin 9mo agoI differ on the “definition” of intuition
