(rationalism) Intuition: you just know, gut feeling, abstract process. Psychology: collect data and ask people how they feel, apply rationalism to theorize how the world works. Karl popper: difference between science and pseudoscience distinguished, everyone has pre-conceived notions of some kind, easy to loo for proof that something exists, only good test of a theory is to falsify it. If it can"t be tested then your hypothesis doesn"t have much power. Need to be willing to give up your theory and let your beliefs go, testable, refutable, and falsifiable. Knowledge: probability and contingency (upon the data themselves).
