Intuition is inherited knowledge.
Intuition is inherited knowledge.
Meaning in plain English
Intuition called inherited knowledge presents an immediate sense as something received rather than consciously learned. The saying proposes an origin for understanding.
Example
Someone treats an initial impression as a question to investigate rather than proof of its conclusion.
Deeper explanation and when to use it
This is not a verified genetic, neurological or historical account. A useful qualified reading can recognise that a hunch may reflect influences not readily articulated while still checking it against evidence. An intuition does not establish accuracy, ancestry or a reason to override another person’s expressed needs.
When to use it
Use it as a qualified view of intuition, with evidence retained.
Keep in mind
No inherited knowledge mechanism or accuracy of intuition is established.
