I wouldn't. Intuition is just quick-thinking basically. We use it constantly for rote action, most notably social interaction.

And by 'you' I mean 'me.' Not making claims abt you!

Yeah, that seems to work. I think the way I envision intuition is as a tool. In chess, "keep your king safe" is an intuition.

It's great for when I have other things to think about, but I should be ready to relinquish it if I have a great reason to.

Like if I have a sound attack that involves exposing my king but I calculate there's no way for my opponent to exploit it.
@HPluckrose -
Hmm. Chess analogies might lose me. The exception that proves the rule?

Yeah, intuitions are generally rules (or heuristics) we memorize to function in the world. "don't touch stoves," etc.

Social interaction moves too quickly for us to rigorously deliberate so how we feel about others often dictated by intuition.

We might 'feel' like someone is untrustworthy and not even consciously know why but we have complex sets of social intuitions.
