It's pattern recognition that happens incredibly quickly.

That's right. And intuition can feel magical. And that's because intuition is knowledge that is not always linear. It's not always, I can't say how I got from A to B. And that can make you doubt it. That can make it feel mystical. Because intuition is really this very complex...

ensemble of neurological functions such as memory activation all of these things working in tandem um to come up with getting quote an intuition a gut feeling it's also a very embodied experience and that's why we hear it called a gut feeling so sometimes an intuition will come to you in a physically embodied way. And in our culture, we've really separated the brain from the body.

So when we get something that feels like our body knowing something, we do have a tendency to distrust that or lump it in as something that is irrational. when really we store so much of our memories and emotions in our bodies. So it's not that this is irrational. It's just another form of rationality. And it's always based on past experiences. This isn't based on nothing.

Sometimes an intuition can come out of the blue and feel almost mystical, but it's, always based on prior experience. Intuition in that way is everything that's ever happened to you.

You'd have to ask neuroscience and linguists that question. I can't really answer that. But I will say that there are neuroscientists and people working in the sciences that do study intuition. They don't have a different name for it. This is just what we've conquered.

called it, and I totally hear you that this does feel like something that is a collective wisdom, but I think intuition also is very personal for people. It's knowing without knowing why, and the ways in which people know can be very different from person to person. Some people are more verbal. Some people are more somatic, embodied.

But it is that knowing without knowing why and being able to trace point A to point B. But this is a highly adaptive trait. This is something that evolutionary psychologists look at. And I think at its most essential, it is a kind of protective instinct of toward or away. When you place a... paramecium in a petri dish and put sugar in it, the paramecium will swim toward the sugar.
