Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.
Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

INTUITION ESSAY CONTEST VOTING
My Intuition Essay contest, is concluded. Voting is today. The contestants are as follows
@TheDag entered Intuition in a Scientific Age
@f3zinker entered A Case For/Against Education, Intuition
@felipec entered My Intuition About Intuition
@Pitt19802 entered This Untitled Piece Comparing Statistical and Intuitive Approaches in Baseball and Politics
Technically, these two came after the deadline, but I also received quality submissions from
@Gaashk on a Jungian View of Intuition
and
@ryandv on Forming Connections via Similarity of Mental Models
In the tradition of my law school moot court contests, I will include these submissions in the poll, because I don't feel the need to be technical about deadlines in a casual game; if you feel strongly that they should not be included simply don't vote for them.
@DaseindustriesLtd also wrote this piece on the topic but explicitly asked to be excluded from the competition, hoping to leave the field to the rest of us mortals.
Vote here. It's going to be simple voting, I'm not doing ranked choice or anything. I will contact the winner on Wednesday, after the SSS thread is supplanted by the WW thread, and we will choose which charity I will donate $300 to.
If I missed any appropriate posts, please link them below and I will add them to the list and the ultimate voting. ANY EFFORTPOST ABOUT INTUITION, EVEN IF IT WAS NOT WRITTEN TO BE INCLUDED IN THE COMPETITION IS ELIGIBLE. As long as it was written between my original post and the end of the day Friday, it can be included in the ultimate voting. I looked through the CW threads for the appropriate period, and found nothing else which made sense to include, but feel free to point out anything I might have missed.
