Intuition and instinct are very important to human survival both individually and collectively

I find growing up in a city might be counterproductive to Intuition but at the same time Instinct might kick in and help you survive.

However, intuition is best developed in the country away from the city by being around mountains and trees and streams and out in the sun and snow and out of door places.

Instinct I associate with war and with basic survival skills of how to survive violent situations whether to fight or to run (both might keep you alive in different situations)

When I was a child in the 1950s encountering a PTSD or crazy adult the best option was almost always to run. When I grew to over 6 feet tall by 8th or 9th Grade sometimes standing my ground was the best option because I was both big and very strong and if I wasn't smiling this might make people feel uncomfortable enough to leave me alone if they were weird or threatening.

But, positive survival like figuring out a plan for surviving better the rest of your life always comes from retreating to beautiful places out in the country. You need enough time away from the really insane people of the world to figure out how to move forward in a more useful and sane way for yourself and all others.

This is what I presently think about Intuition and Instinct.
