Hey Sal, I'll have to think about what we mean by intuition. For me, years of noticing people's behaviors and patterns have sharpened my ability to have better intuition about people's future behavior. I think some therapist have been noticing so many people in such detail that they do develop a more highly refined ability.
But I may be missing your perspective on what intuitions are. Can you give an example so I can understand how you use the term? (hopefully it will not include girlfriends cheating on me or shooting me!) --- In [email protected], Sal Sunshine <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Jun 10, 2006, at 10:28 AM, curtisdeltablues wrote: > > > You may have two good terms for the same thing!
