My position is a bit different. I'm not a rationalist. I'm not some atomized homunculean monad with some virtual window into the world who is cognitively isolated from those around me.

I'm a phenomenologist. I exist in the world and across it and it exists in and through me. And based on my experience, I do not believe that people are atomized. I think phenomena like language, culture, morals and most subjects are learned through telepathy. Language is just part of the conveyance. Like a hand that points. The mind makes up the rest.

I also believe that we often hear the thoughts of others believing those thought originated from the "inside" due to the mistaken belief that all thoughts are somehow tagged with the name of the being from which they originated.

And this is what I'm referring to when I say I "rely on my gut." When I have feeling that something is about to occur or that I need to take some action, I don't analyze it. Instead, I assume it has an origin and conveys some meaning about the world. I also don't assume it originated in me. This gives a distinct advantage as compared to the rationalist who constantly questions himself.

Now I will add that it's possible that some people are more "sensitive" than others, and this could explain why cretain groups of humans have difficulty learning on a very fundamental level. You point, but they literally can't see. They lack the ability to "understand what you're thinking," i.e. telepathy.

I will also add that another failing of the arm chair rationalist is their notion of truth and falsity. For me, all things are true, even false things. They are truly false, and thus, not false at all. Falsity is positional, if you believe something to be false, you need to move around it until you can see why it's not, i.e. all things are true if you look at them from the proper angle.
