Instinctive Inquiry

1. A deliberate yet unstructured approach to experimentation where the question is carefully crafted with a clear goal in mind, but the testing process is fluid, spontaneous, and open to unexpected insights. It values creativity, instinct, and adaptability over conventional scientific rigor, fostering discovery through non-traditional methods.

2. A process of exploration and testing that begins with a purposeful, well-thought-out hypothesis or question, aimed at reaching a specific and intentional conclusion. Unlike traditional scientific methods, the approach to testing is freeform, relying on intuition, gut feeling, and creative exploration rather than rigid protocols or measurement.

Medieval instinct

Medieval instinct is when your parents try to get you to date a person they like the most themselves, for purposes that are either business related or just because they know that person best.
Mom: (friend) is so nice, you two get along so well! Are you sure there isn't anything more between you?

Kid: mom wtf

Friend: wha–

The Clench Instinct

When a human dies, their final instinct is to clench their lower orifices. This is why Necrophiliacs claim that corpses are better than the real thing.
Human 1: Dude you see that girl when she was almost stabbed.
Human 2: Yeah, you could see the clench instinct kick in.
Human 1: Yeah dude, it was hot.

Stephen Hawking: My best discovery for science was and will always be, the clench instinct.
