INTELLECT X INTUITION

 A

Here are the bullet points summarizing the article "Intellect and intuition must walk together" by Basab Dasgupta:

  • Science has become a mantra for promoting vaccines and fighting climate change, but scientific evidence alone cannot answer all questions, such as the existence of God.

  • Human beings are born with two traits: intellect and intuition.

  • Intellect is developed through learning and education; intuition is a gut feeling or inner voice.

  • Science alone, based purely on intellect, may not always be sufficient for understanding or decision-making.

  • Newton’s discovery of gravity was an intuitive leap from observing falling apples.

  • Scientists believe any postulate based on intuition needs rigorous experimental validation to be scientific.

  • Intuition allows humans to form hypotheses and make decisions quickly, but it can be prone to errors.

  • Intellect and intuition complement each other and must coexist for meaningful progress.

  • Quantum computing shows the importance of duality and fuzzy logic, analogous to combining intellect and intuition.

  • People’s beliefs, politics, and social movements often involve intuitive feelings that resist purely logical analysis.

  • AI, while powerful, cannot fully replicate human intuition because it processes information logically and lacks emotional insight.

  • A balanced approach, combining intellect and intuition, is essential for scientific discovery, decision-making, and meaningful life.

  • Acknowledging the role of intuition can help create better personal and societal outcomes.
