"Intuition has amassed scientific credibility, serving as a powerful decision-making tool that integrates subconscious threads rather than whispering cosmic truths."
"When considering decision-making across all species, intuition is likely the dominant mode of choice on the planet."
"System 1 is the brain’s fast, automatic, intuitive processing mode, whereas System 2 is slow, deliberate, and requires effort."
"Human analytical thought is an outlier in the animal kingdom, contrasting sharply with the innate intuition found in many species."
Intuition, often linked with mysticism, is gaining recognition for its scientific basis in decision-making. Defined as recognizing patterns and cues absent conscious thought, intuition appears to be the dominant decision-making mode across all species. This contrasts with human analytical thinking, which is slower and more labor-intensive. Cognitive psychology, notably the work of Kahneman and Tversky, delineates two modes of thought: System 1, which is rapid and intuitive, and System 2, which is methodical and deliberate. Unlike analytical thinking, intuition is more energy-efficient and evolutionarily grounded, operating as a default for many life forms.
