One thing that keeps coming back in everything I’ve read: intuition is like information reduction, basically. We have it for a reason: we need to function in this world. And having this one rule of thumb is helping you make fast decisions, and it’s usually almost as accurate, or even more accurate, than if we’re trying to rationally come up with the answer.
intuition as reduction(ism). Intuitively I disagree, much of my own experience of intuition is emergent not reduction. A sensed pattern that jumps out intuitively, often in opposition to reductionism (as (over)simplification). More like a probability wave collapsing?
