Without, ultimately, trusting science more than intuition, there’s no hope of making epistemic progress.
That’s not really true. 10,000 hours of deliberate practice at making predictions about a given field will improve the intuition by a lot.
Intuition isn’t fixed.
Do you believe that intuition exists in some other form than subconscious empirical knowledge? Provided you don’t believe in any paranormal stuff I don’t think that there’s something else that you could call intuition.
For me science is about having well defined theories and then trying to falsify those theories.
When you make decisions based on intuition you aren’t making decisions based on theory.

Isn’t “intuition” in that case not simply subconscious empirical knowledge?
