Life is counter intuitive, but we need to use intuition? Wtf?

[UpperMaster]

I don't understand, to what extent should I use intuition?

How can life be both counter intuitive and also intuitive, I mean I can imagine it being both but then whats the purpose of even saying one or the other?

I think the intuition being talked about in 'counter-intuitive' is the primitive and under developed intuition that is default to people. That's not even really intuition as I understand it but subconscious patterns that have been either picked up from culture, people, society etc, or acquired as a human creature or as living being, etc. For eg. As an ego it's 'intuitive' to not wanna die, but that's what you have to do for understanding reality.

The intuition in 'life is intuitive' is probably actual intuition in the definition that it is the knowing of something without any logical reason(that you can observe or articulate). So life being intuitive could mean something like life can not be explained logically but needed to be understood intuitively(without normal human logic)
