The Einstein quote is interesting. It seems to ring true (and not to be surprising coming from Einstein, whose great genius was not his analytical ability so much as the power of his intuition). Yet, I just don't see how it is (or was) true. How is it that our society puts too much stock in rationality and ignores intuition? I've seen this claimed elsewhere, but I've just realized that I can't think of actual examples.

Hmm. It's hard to quantify. For my own part, I get the impression that our society values quantifiable things like productivity, profits, and provable results more than it does fuzzier values like camaraderie, personal fulfillment and mutual trust. The fuzzier values are the ones that intuition is linked with. Your experience may be different. It may depend on the kinds of interactions we've had with society. As a struggling artist I haven't found much support on the societal level - the prevailing message is to 'get a real job.'
