That's that's it very very often that's not a very good idea.
I have to say I completely agree.
Um intuition that is that is not at all informed is is pretty much useless.
And intuition by people who have a lot of experience
can be incredibly useful.
If there's a house on fire, the question is, can I still go inside to rescue something or will the house collapse?
My intuition is useless.
But uh you know, a firefighter's intuition who's doing this, who's been doing this job for thirty-five years, is probably incredibly reliable and is the is the best device you can get.
But but yeah, when it comes to uh making uh an important decision
I completely agree with Kahneman.
In in in my own work we uh provided people with information uh pertaining to a decision like choose between four different departments and we give them a lot and a lot and a lot of information.
And then we tell them um to sit on it for a while, sleep on it, almost sometimes literally sleep on it, and then the the following morning follow your intuition.
You you don't have to explain to me why you think this is the best apartment, you know.
Follow your gut.
And if if if these steps are met, so first all this information, then a period of unconscious thought, then a a quick intuitive judgment, that's indeed the best way to make a decision.
Yeah.
It's interesting.
In in the book I I describe the various phases that you you have to stimulate your brain and and and do things that yeah are are a little bit weird, challenge your prediction machine and then you have to you have to engage in a in a more quiet
uh period where you you let your unconscious mull over things.
What I tend to do is I travel sometimes s especially I I especially like to go to to big cities and and they they're always very inspiring.
