Intuition in a vacuum is bad feedback

Our intuition is similar to AI. 

Applied Statistics, or AI, can only take responses to questions from a closed container, a black box. What you put in the box determines the response. Put in Western thinking, which, if we are honest, is white male thinking, and any question answered will be tainted with more of the same. 

Sigh. 

Not what humanity needs right now.

Our intuition comes from what we feed our thinking and experience. If our thinking and experiencing are fed with Christian Nationalism, for example, our intuition may say something dangerous, like take a gun and kill these particular people. 

Before we intuit, especially if the consequences are of extreme importance, we need to listen to the thoughts, experience and feedback from people who offer different perspectives, worldviews, experiences, and backgrounds, including people who do not look like us. 

Intuition can be a powerful tool. Like any power tool, it needs to be handled with wisdom. 

And never turned into righteous fundamentalism.
