The question is why do you think it is even possible?

Because I've seen other people do it, I've observed a strong correlation between the ability to do it and overall functionality, and I've recently discovered how to do it myself and have seen huge gains to both my epistemic and instrumental rationality.

I know that I'm not providing enough information for you to find what I'm saying very compelling. Again, it took me 10,000+ hours before I myself started to get it. I might well have been skeptical before doing so.

So, do you feel that your intuition will work successfully in the fields of, say, post-modernist literary critique, agriculture, and human biochemistry?

I don't know – it depends on the relative roles of skill and luck in these fields. If you're talking about those major discoveries from the past that required integrating a diverse collection of sources of information, I believe that the people who made the discoveries were using this style of thinking. For example, I believe that this was probably true of Norman Borlaug.
