Super Moderator florduh Posted July 9, 2019 Super Moderator Share Posted July 9, 2019 Yes, the subconscious mind often outperforms analytical thinking. It can access more information more quickly. I think of it as speed analysis using real data and experience, not magical at all. Obviously, it's not infallible, but neither is anything else.

I'm all for a whole brain approach to life. Rationality and intuition together. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The holistic thinking approach is a good one IMO. To trust in intuition alone without rational consideration can often be a mistake as would trusting in rational considerations alone when your gut feelings (intuition) suggest otherwise. Men often scoff at a woman's intuition but it often turns out to be correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
