RE: INTUITION - What happens beyond the discursive use of the mind?

in #steemstem6 years ago (edited)

Thank you, Reinhard.
You gave some very interesting examples of your own, especially what I was looking for when it comes to different life experiences as well as professions. ... Actually, first I was thinking of making a collection and give SBDs or STEEM to all participants :))

Yes, you could name it "Anfängerglück" (beginners luck) and it reflects the easiness of a beginner who doesn't expect much from himself as he finds himself not very skilled. This low expectation makes him easy going and not wanting to "win" a task at all costs. May it be winning against the self or against others.

Your driving experience I find really cool! That also shows your expertise in handling a motorbike and be aware of possible dangers. It must have happened to you that you got into a "Schrecksekunde" and you were relieved afterwards that nothing worse had happened other than to have been shocked for a second. But the reaction time I would also contribute to the survival instinct. Reacting without thinking.

Sensing the danger before it actually appears is quite fascinating:) and life saving, as I see.

You do aikido? Wow! The martial arts! Yes. I have heard of an exam where the disciple has to kneel on the floor and must sense the sword coming from behind which his master swings without any sound and move. The disciple passes the test when he bows right in the second the master attacks from behind.

I wish you luck in not being interested in becoming a master. LOL! Maybe it's going to help to relax your jaw. HeHe.

I have heard of "go" and the computer beating the human. For this, I would say, there is not much intuition involved :) as the machine clearly has an advantage in making numerous calculations within nano-seconds for which the human mind has its limits. Even though it's really impressing of how much humans are capable of. Took a long time for computers to finally beat the best humans. My man though, would also attribute some weird kind of intuition "being alive" into the computer.

Sometimes I watch the series "Grey's anatomy" and what the surgeons approach on their patients are. The script certainly used also real experiences the author did research on. To find the tiniest rupture in the hearts environment by intuition could be something, one could investigate in the realm of medicine.

I will give you a link from a German "Computer-Philosopher" who states some things about what machines are capable of and what they will never reach from his perspective. I found it during my research but did not mention it as the article was already long enough.

Check out Rupert Sheldrakes research and maybe you also would like to do some intuition training:) (the very last links I provided at the bottom of this article).
