And then there's people like me who ask if that tree just farted a rainbow.

I see.

next thought...so.. what is to be gained and lost by viewing the universe exclusively one way or another or are both useful gangs.

monotheistic dualism is the problem.

And the sciences of advertising and propaganda, not to mention much of America's education system, have worked very hard and very successfully to ensure as many rods as possible.

The most important perceptions work from within, if you’re intuitive, non intuitive people don’t have those perceptions. Where the non intuitive draws conclusions from direct observations the intuitive will gather way too much information then automatically “jump” to the correct answer and retrace the solution as if it’s news to them.
It’s hard to explain real intuition, the kind that isn’t woo based, but it’s real.
