GUT FEELING INTUITION VERSUS INSTINCT




There is a primary relationship between our brain and our bowel. Often we are talking about feeling a knot in the stomach when we meet someone for the first time. They tell us to trust our instincts when we make a difficult decision or when we face a situation that tests our nerve and our determination. This connection to the mind is not just transport.

Our brain and stomach are linked to an extensive network of neurons and a grueling network of chemicals and hormones that continually provide feedback on how hungry we are, whether or not we experience anxiety or whether we have a disease-causing microbe. This information avenue is called the brain-bow axis and provides continuous updates to the state of affairs at your two ends.

The intestinal nervous system is often referred to as the second brain of our body. There are hundreds of millions of neurons that connect the brain to the intestinal nervous system. While our second brain can not compose an agreement or paint a masterpiece like the brain in our skull can play an important role in managing the functions of our inner tube.

For example, you can drive to a country road in the dark to listen to some music when you suddenly have an intuition to drive more than one side of the lane. As you continue to drive, you notice that you just avoided a huge puddle that could have hurt your car significantly. I'm glad you supported your feeling even if you do not know where it came from.

In fact, the car in the distant distance in front of you made a similar small shift (since they are locals and knows the way), and copied it without conspicuously recording it.
When you have great experience in a particular area, the brain has more information to match the current experience. This makes your intuitions more reliable. This means that, as with creativity, your intuition can really improve with experience.

In psychological literature, intuition is often explained as one of two general ways of thinking, along with analytical reasoning. Intuitive thinking is described as automatic, quick and subconscious. Analytical thinking, on the other hand, is slow, sensible, conscious and deliberate.

So we only have to rely on our own intuition as it helps in making decisions? It's complicated. Because intuition is based on evolutionary, older, automatic and rapid processing, it also falls victim to maladministration, such as cognitive biases. These are systematic errors in thought, which can happen automatically. However, familiarity with common cognitive biases can help you locate them in future situations: there are good tips on how to do it here and here.

Similarly, since fast processing is ancient, it can sometimes be a bit obsolete.
So, for each situation that includes a decision based on your assessment, consider whether your intuition has correctly evaluated the situation. Is it an evolutionary old or new situation? Does it include cognitive biases? Do you have experience in such cases? If it is evolutionary old, it involves a cognitive bias, and you have no experience in it, then rely on analytical thinking. If not, do not hesitate to trust your intuitive thinking.

It is time to stop the witch's hunt in intuition and see it for what it is: a fast, automatic, subconscious editing style that can give us very useful information that can not deliberately analyze the analysis. We must accept that intuition and instinct must happen together and weigh each other in difficult decision situations.
