What's in mind?

Intuition is the ability to understand something immediately, without conscious reasoning. It is often described as a "gut feeling" or an inner sense that something is right or wrong, true or false. Intuition is a product of our brain's rapid processing of information. Our brains constantly gather information from our senses and experiences. Much of this processing happens unconsciously, without our awareness. The unconscious mind quickly identifies patterns and connections in the information, even if we're not consciously aware of them. When a pattern emerges that matches a past experience or learned knowledge, our brain generates a "gut feeling" or intuitive response. Intuition allows us to make rapid decisions, especially in situations where we don't have time for careful analysis. By relying on intuition, we can conserve mental energy for more complex tasks.

Seculocity is a term coined by David Zahl and it refers to the way modern society has created a new, secular religion centered around the pursuit of success, perfection, and control in various areas of life. He argues that many of the things we value and pursue, such as career success, perfect parenting, technological advancements, food trends, political activism, and romantic relationships, have taken on religious-like significance. These pursuits can be beneficial but they often lead to anxiety, guilt, and a sense of inadequacy when we inevitably fall short. We often place our hopes and dreams on these pursuits, believing that they will bring us happiness and fulfillment. However, when we inevitably fall short, we can experience a sense of spiritual emptiness and despair. Here are some of the book's key arguments: Performancism : The relentless pressure to be better, do more, and achieve more in all areas of life. This can lead to a constant feeling of falling short and a ne
