Yooo this is a great comment, but do you still not see what I'm trying to say... YES!!! You are right if dont follow through with your intuition and she was kidnapped your an idiot, but you are also an idiot then if you follow through with your intuition and she was not kidnapped. Intuitions are valuable if they give you foresight into an event in a way that you may deem 'from a higher source', but that entails (to me to deem from a higher source) that they are TRUE in the real world. I'm here to try and say that intuitions can be right AND wrong, but the intuition that your daughter is kidnapped is just parents unwarranted worrying UNTIL the child is actually kidnapped right? I think that there is an answer to that question "how can it feel right and be wrong", if the intuition doesn't hold up with the rest of the world. If it clashes with our understanding of a social contract and civilized society it should deservingly be met with some scrutiny. We can't have theives, rapists, murderers and the likes claiming what they do isn't wrong because "it feels right".
