Unlearning Your Way Back to Seeing — Angus Fletcher's Intuition

In his groundbreaking new book on Primal Intelligence, researcher Angus Fletcher identifies four fundamental cognitive abilities we're all born with, but are systematically trained to ignore, or misunderstand. This episode dives deep into the first pillar: Intuition.You were born with a superpower. When you were six months old, you could see things no adult around you could see. You noticed details. You saw uniqueness everywhere. You had perfect intuition.And then you grew up. And you trained it out of yourself.You learned patterns. You learned efficiency. You learned to judge quickly and move on. And in doing so, you killed the thing that made you perceptive in the first place.This episode is about getting it back. That natural ability you had as a kid—to see what's actually there instead of what you expect to be there. To notice the exception instead of the pattern. To be curious instead of certain.It's the skill that makes salespeople go from failing to top-performer. The skill that helps soldiers predict wars. The skill that turns a stuck conversation into a breakthrough. And you already have it. You've just forgotten how to access it.This isn't about learning something "new." It's about unlearning what's making you blind to truly seeing. It's about getting dumber so you can see better. And it works for your job, your relationships, your life—anywhere you've been stuck seeing the same patterns and missing what's actually in front of you.You were better at this when you were six months old. Let's get you back there.Sign up for the Dumbify newsletter: https://www.david-carson.com/Dumbify celebrates ideas so weird, wrong, or wildly impractical… they just might be brilliant.
