And I think that what studies have shown also is that this really comes from Daniel Kahneman's research in thinking fast and slow, but it dates back to even Benjamin Franklin writing about this phenomenon in his autobiography, is that we like to tell ourselves this story that we are rational beings and we've made decisions based on all the data and evaluating things with a cool head.

But more often than not, we make decisions intuitively. We make decisions based on something that is emotional or that we can't even put words to. And then we will go back and post hoc reasons for why that makes sense rationally. So I think it cuts both ways.

I hear you. And I think that that is a great example of a memory bias of the way in which we will prioritize a story that we like that really kind of rhymes with our worldview. What I really like. emphasize for people who do want to become more intuitive or become even just more familiar with the way intuition shows up for them is becoming a little bit systematic about it.

The neuroscientists I interviewed say that intuition is pattern recognition based on expertise, based on having expertise in a certain domain. So what I really advocate for is people becoming experts in themselves. So if you have an intuition to say, go to that liquor store or to walk on the left side of the street that day versus the right side of the street,

i think that you should notice that and you should notice how that intuition shows up for you when you feel an urge or pull one way or another does that come to you as a sentence in your mind is it a feeling in your body and how is that different than say something else like anxiety or fear or just plain old habits that we are all accustomed to.

So I really recommend people clocking when they have an intuition. I keep a note on my phone of these sorts of things, whatever kind of inclination I'm having that day, how I knew it and how it panned out, because then you do actually have some hard data to pull from rather than our very fallible memories and storytelling that we all do.
