Half of your bad decisions: I just feel it, I'll do what I feel is right. The other half of your bad decisions: I have a bad feeling about this, but let's not get superstitious, I'm sure it's going to be fine.
'Trust your gut', they say. But emotions lie. They evolved to lie to you. To help you survive & replicate your genes. Not to represent reality accurately. Trust if you want, but verify.pic.twitter.com/JOebakFMLa

If my intuition has helped me to survive, then it must have represented reality. I’ll keep trusting my gut for now.

**All of your senses** evolved to lie to you to help you survive and replicate your genes, not to represent reality accurately. You, as a species-specific platform, have no access to underlying reality.

I’ve found that trusting my gut, or instincts, has served me better in most situations because it doesn’t allow me to try to rationalize. Isn’t rationalization where emotions come into play?
