Q. Whose intuitions should you trust? Are some people’s intuitions better than others?

Ans. This question is much in relevance to the concept of ‘generalizations’. ‘Generalizations’ are common opinions perceived by a large number of people. Often this is what actually drives people to believe in other people’s intuitions. For e.g. ‘The Mother’ is a spiritual leader through whose preaching people were enlightened by the messages she gave. The mother’s teachings were followed as they are very practical and reasonable. Hence, she had many followers/ disciples. This leaves a good impression of the mother’s faith. Her popularity is to be credited for it i.e. the general opinion people have of her makes one to trust this common intuition.
However, it is very difficult to determine whose intuition is better, as that is based on personal perception. In most cases Generalizations are the most reliable sources of knowledge and are these forms of intuitions are worth trusting; but there are times when they too are awry. For .e.g. many people suggest that Muslims are terrorists, just because a few of them have been involved in such crimes. This is wrong intuition, which one must not trust and must follow ones own senses, what one feels is correct. The entire Muslim community cannot be blamed because of the actions of a few of them. So one must trust the intuitions of those who reason seem plausible enough to be believed. This can be achieved by seeing to it that your beliefs are not driven by your emotions only, but more by reason to justify.
