Justifying Intuition
Question
Hello Rabbi, I spoke with an atheist about intuition, for example the intuition of causality, and I said that I have no reason not to believe in causality unless proven otherwise (because for me it really is a reliable indication), aside from skepticism for its own sake. So he told me that his intuition says that I’m a pedophile, and he has no reason to believe that isn’t so. What would you say to him about that?
Answer
I’d go home.
