Intuition
The reliability of your intuition depends, for the most part, on systematic retrieval of past knowledge and happenings in a certain area. If someone has more experience with children they will have better instinct or intuition about what they should do in certain situations with them. Not a one-for-one advantage, but greater chances of reliability.
Intuition is an ability to cut through the thickness of surface reality, with a deep and heightened observation of experiential data. Its like a slow motion machine that snaps information, yet, hits like a freight train. Intuition is a knowing, a sensing beyond conscious understanding- a gut feeling.
Consider the proposition,
“Whoever owns the soil, is theirs from heaven to hell”.
This is ad coelum, property rights extraordinaire. A legal reductio ad absurdum or reduction to the absurd argument against the proposition might be:
The proposition to a logical extreme would grant land owners rights to everything in a cone from the center of the earth to an infinite distance out into space. Whatever was inside the cone, including stars and planets, obviously crazy an earth landowner, also, owns a slice of the celestial heavens.
Poe's law is the concept that without an indicator it is difficult or impossible to know the difference between sincere extremism and its parody.
Italian author Umberto Eco believed the idea in Disney parks we not only enjoy a perfect imitation, but believe this is as good as it gets, reality is a let down. For some this is an ongoing concern. Environmentalists Jennifer Cypher and Eric Higgs worry the boundary between artificiality and reality is so thin, the artificial becomes the center of moral value.
The grand narratives of religion, ideology and enlightenment have been replaced by small, local narratives, love of family, nationality, humanity. These pastiches are intertextual in their very form as it is a recreation of an earlier text. These days, the older text may represent a bygone grand narrative, the newer version reflects a local narrative.
In the pastiche, the two enter dialogue.
