My intuition is one of my super powers.

I don’t always understand nor can I intellectualize why I do things or why I believe things until years later after the thesis has solidified, but if I listen to my gut it will lead me there early.

Every time I’ve gotten hurt in life it’s because I failed to listen to my gut.

Same here

Ditto

same.

Same brother!

We have got this, the question is most people just ignore it and so tied up with other people's expectations.

I was not aware that anyone had this superpower but me. It's truly amazing!

My mother noticed it when I was young, but didn't understand it.

She use to say, " You're too smart for you're own good."🫡🤷

Same 🙃 gut don’t lie. Sometimes can be wrong but is never repeatedly wrong…

I’d change the word “intuition” to guiding principles and/or morals/ethics depending on the situation. I was late to BTC because it was “too complicated” and “I didn’t get it” based on my background guiding principles. Same guiding principles immediately latched on to Stay Humble, Stack Sats and avoided all shitcoins. Lending BTC seemed too complicated, and i didn’t “get” shitcoins.

Lose a few, win a few. Just fine tune your principles and listen to them.

I have to relearn this lesson way too often. Just recently went through it again 🤦🏻‍♂️

Intuition, interpretation, integration, institutionalisation, the 4i’s of organisational learning. 🫡🙌

Do you ever worry that it's a cognitive bias that's actually playing out?

I think you're referring to confirmation bias, which is what the original post called to my mind. I'm not sure the intent was to start a conversation about the ways our brains fool us, though. 😉

But what is intuition other than a synthesis of our hard earned biases.

😉 gotcha. I'm always looking for it. Socratic view has me questioning things I "know are true". On a long enough timeline everyone's proven right/wrong?

No

Absolute same. Had a rant about this exact thing last night.

I've found to always keep my gut clean (as best I can). Second to only the brain, the gut has the most nerve cells of any organ

Same for me. Although my gut feeling is 50/50 intuition/ diarrhoea

“Trust me, bro.” Yo-yo Gut

What is something you’re doing now or an idea your intuition has led you to whose thesis has not been solidified yet?

Good question.

$MSTR is one

Anchor watch (Bitcoin insurance) is another.

I invested in both long before I understood them. Both are up significantly in Bitcoin terms. Only now am I beginning to understand them. It was two years before it started making sense to me, but something in my gut told me to invest in both.

Btw I don’t think I had a clue about bitcoin for at least 3 years

I agree with this intuition guides you places you don’t understand yet, the tricky part is trusting it even when doubts emerge. I think I was also clueless about bitcoin until about 3 years in.

Yeah MSTR took a life of its own this year. Anyone that had a meaningful position before this year was way ahead of the curve

Interesting. I’m with you on this Hodl!

Left curve all day

ah. the mid-curve Shirt of Self phenomenon

The longer I've walked on this earth, the more I trust my gut over my mind.

In sales there's a saying that people buy with their gut/heart & justify the purchase with their mind.

The thing that can mess with your intuition is fear. Let go the Fear ♥️, fill your heart with Agape 💚 (unconditional love) & trust your intuition 🧡.

Enjoy the ride!

I think everyone has it, but certain powers that be don't want people to be aware of it. We really are limitless when we can tap into the inner guidance system 🤩✨

I approve this note. 🤙

Exactly this.

How can I unblock?

Ironically I blocked a few influencers who kept on talking (0 cost of production, blablabla) and making bets on Bitcoin price in front of big audiences. This is good advice tho.

All of us with ntj have this when we dig into something we have passion for. Ability to see a future but not logically explain it even though the intuition is grounded in facts/logic.

It is the feeling I got when I bought 1000 split adjusted mstr calls in 2023. I am sure saylor had a gut feeling when initially doing converts but probably didn't expect it to play out exactly as he anticipated.

I actually wish I listened to my intuition more. It’s actually scary how well it has helped me in the past. I totally agree! The times I didn’t listen to, I ended up regretting.

"Every time I've gotten hurt in life it's because I failed to listen to my gut" - *mic drop*

Relatable to unimaginable extents.

Do you have another positive example, or just “HODL” (n=1) 🤣

Getting blasted by life lessons in youth is the most certain way to cultivate this superpower, like getting nearly over and over again like a Saiyan. Skill goes over 9,000 fast. One of the reasons I worry about my son. He will never deal with 90% of what I had to.

I'm unashamed of my DBZ reference here, gfy, Goku kept me going.

I tell this to my kids & nieces/nephews all the time.

My gut is batting 1,000. It is always right.

Ignoring it is ignoring God. Don’t do that.

Imagine being ruled by a little neurotic voice in your head. Couldn’t be me. Distributed intelligence applies on all scales
