- Neuroscience shows unconscious processing happens first
- Evolution favored fast instinctive responses
Disagree
- Some intuitions feel genuinely transcendent
- Can't reduce wisdom to algorithms
- Spiritual insights go beyond pattern matching
- Creativity requires more than recombination
- Deep knowing feels qualitatively different
