A Stream Of Consciousness Forum from: GUT FEELINGS

-----"much of our mental life is unconscious, based on processes alien to logic:
gut feelings, or intuitions. We have intuitions about sports, friends, which
toothpasteto buy, and other dangerous things. We fall in love , and we sense
that the Dow Jones will go up.

Where do these feelings come from ? How do we know ?
