Is intuition just a heightened sense of perception?
Do I use accumulated wisdom and common sense and knowledge
to 'make a guess'?
Is intuition just 'wishful thinking'?
Daniel Kahneman suggests,
"There is no sharp line between intuition and perception. …
Perception is predictive. . . .
If you want to understand intuition,
it is very useful to understand perception,
because so many of the rules that apply to perception apply as well to intuitive thinking.
Intuitive thinking is quite different from perception.
Intuitive thinking has language.
Intuitive thinking has a lot of word knowledge
organized in different ways more than mere perception.
But some very basic characteristics of perception are extended almost directly to intuitive thinking."
