For the naysayers, intuition has actually been proven to exist, the more scientific term is implicit learning and tacit knowledge. In summary we actually are much more aware of our environment and lived experience when we realize. Through this unconscious awareness we can actually pick up on patterns and use this passive knowledge in our lives as intuition.

Learning about the staring experiment is rather interesting too!
As a caveat, you need to allow good information in, get offline, talk to people in real life, move your body. If you're implicitly learning garbage, your intuition will be garbage.
