Selection is not necessarily 'analytical' - it can be random, it can even be intuitive!Is Natural Selection 'analytical' - I think not.Intuition is by its very nature, selective; "why did you make that selection?" -"I don't know, it was intuition, I guess".We can suppose that we are 'recognising' and 'cultivating' our instincts, - but then, does that mean we 'understand them'? - again, I think not. I recognise the flowers in my garden and cultivate them - but I would be a damned fool if I claimed to 'understand' them! Think how much more mysterious are our drives, our volitions and our instincts!The man who claims to 'know himself' is an arrogant prig.
