Inutition or thought? Horizon BBC2 25th Feb 2014

Funny that, I must have known. I was about to write a piece on the suits of wands (fire) and swords (air) tarot suits and their elements concerning the nervous system and thinking processes.
Fire gives the knee jerk reflex action. IE no thought needed as reflexes bypass the brain. Could be called intuitive.
Air applies a bit more logic and thought to communication. IE uses the brain (or so-called higher bits of it).


Do watch the programme. It included and concluded that most of our decisions are of the intuitive kind and not thought through.


Spot the techno-babble terms for:
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush; and
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
