I remember reading a very interesting essay from mathematician David Bessis. It was a big article related to Daniel Kahneman and his book and I don't recall most of it but there was one paragraph that stayed with me. So I'm sharing it here. You can go ahead and read the full essay too.
Your intuition really is your most powerful intellectual resource. However, at the risk of spoiling your dreams, I must be honest with you—your intuition isn’t a magical elixir, or your lucky star, or the hand of God on your shoulder. It’s much more trivial than that. It’s the tangible manifestation of something that is invisible yet perfectly concrete and material: the entanglement of synaptic connections between your neurons that your brain continuously constructs and reorganizes, as it has done since you were in the womb. Your brain contains roughly as many neurons as there are stars in the Milky Way. Each of these neurons is, on average, tied to thousands of other neurons. This fabric of hundreds of trillions of interconnections is the network of your mental associations. Its structure is your way of giving meaning to the raw information continually flooding into your brain. This is, literally, your vision of the world. All that you have seen, heard, felt, imagined, or desired, all of your experience, all that you know, all that you remember, is encoded in this web. When your intuition speaks, that’s where it’s speaking from.
