I should have said, 'intuition' means to me quite normal intelligence. Intuition is knowing something without having to reflect and think about it deliberately, as you have previously learned it so well.Iwannaplato wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 11:34 amI think you can even be a naive realist, but at the same time you realize that some regular life tactics and strategies, beliefs and attitudes can be based on intuition and often necessarily must be. And that going with one's intuition is rational. If they examine their lives, they will find routines and beliefs that they cannot demonstrate to others are rational, but that work and that they cling to. Perhaps naive realist will have less people who realize this, but there is nothing in acknowledging this that goes against naive realism.Belinda wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 9:02 am Iwannaplato wrote:

And it's ridiculous.
Naive realism doesn't appeal to me, and I think I detect a trend for naive realists not to have read much philosophy.
