On the contrary, being wrong about something is not the main issue for some, it is being able to believe in something or hold onto a belief at all costs that dominates the psyche.

Ok, but this would mean that your entire "intuition"- approach (which seems to be your foremost interest as of lately, and which actually was the keyterm at the beginning) is left behind.

In a nominal but not necessarily phenomenal way, yeah.

What is it you´d like me to expand on? Do you have a specific question concerning this paragraph?
Click to expand...

Just more of what you said, maybe a rephrase. It's interesting but I'm not quite getting it all.

What is the opposite of using intuition in a totally nilly willy way, and how do I determine which way I use it? What are the criteria for a non-nilly-willy-use of intuition?

By "willy nilly" I meant, basically, people who are lying to themselves by *saying* they believe one thin (via intuition), but really believe another.


What I'm essentially getting from this is that there is a difference between private experience or validation of something as true and the ability to communicate how this private experience (intuitively validated) is true via reason. Intuition -- grasping that something is true or not -- is a private, immediate thing, whereas reason is a "public" (intersubjetive), non-immediate thing. Pretty neat stuff if you ask me.

Sure it does, the placebo effect demonstrates pretty well how just thinking something is true (that you took a medication that will provide treatment) can have an impact.

Received,

I would place intuition in a separate ontological category from the other three. The reason being is that intuition can be singular in its manifestation, whereas as the other three 'entities' are more prone to being 'communal' in their existence as phenomena reflecting some kind of 'realia.' Reason and Science particular need community interaction and confirmation to be recognized as what they are; for instance, Einstein wasn't reasonable about the theory of Relativity just because he put it all together. His theory had to be confirmed by other individuals before being accepted. Intuition doesn't have to have this kind of ontological state to be what it is; I can intuit what I will, and it won't really matter to me whether you agree with ideas I intuit.

Peace

I was trying to get to the idea that intuition could be independent on its own by having it as the outermost sphere, with space between it and the one below it.

Received,

Ok, then. You've already thought about this, I see. I guess we need something more/other than a Venn Diagram to show the 'space' of which you speak.

Good thoughts on your part, though. Thank you. Interesting perspective.

Peace
