Yes, I belive there might be some "universal mind" some people can tap into, however this is not what I see under the term intuition. Intuition is definitely not about neglecting data and information. There would be no inuition without them. I would say that intuition is a process running in our subconscious mind that is very good at spotting patterns in the information we receive. Actually, to a certain extend I belive that IQ scores might be well correlated with our inuitive abilities. IQ tests are usually about verifying intuitively recognized patterns with logic, and therefore I wouldn't draw a thick line between logic and intuition. At the end of the day, if your intuition was right, it was because it understood the functional logic of this universe, better than your conscious mind, which didn't consciously grasped all the parts of an argument.

Intuition does need a frame of reference, which is built on our experiences and knowledge. But I also think there is far more to intuition than inductive reasoning in the subconscious. Have you had the experience that you just knew something? And you thought and thought why it was so, but you couldn't explain -- you just knew. That is intuition. You have a point.

If it requires generations to adapt, we are doomed. I believe David’s argument is true, but the fallacy is not that intuition is wrong, but that evolution is.

Now one way to get used to the intuitive decision making is to start small. Don't wait until the life changing event to use intuition. I agree.

I like to think that there is a Universal Mind that is all knowing and loving. It wants the best for me. And by following the Universal mind I'm being taken to the next most natural step towards the things I want. It may be scary but it’s worth the challenge, isn’t it? ~ Akemi

A great different way of looking at things. I think that it not only helps make the decision, but it also helps one with life balance and inner strength. Juliet Hi
