Any person, probably, had moments of sudden insights, when he did not know how to do it right, but in the end he acted flawlessly. Today we will discuss a similar behavior in the context of our topic. Consider the concept of "influx." This is very curious, as it applies to absolutely everyone.
Value
The unconscious moments of inspiration are never forgotten later. If a person, not knowing any data, solves a problem, this seems almost a miracle. However, set mysticism aside and turn to linguistic reality, what does the explanatory dictionary think of this? "Inspiration is a sudden thought, inspiration."
Discoveries and insights
True, you should not think that sudden insights are a kind of God's mercy. No, in this case, such "miracles" are worth our hard work. The reader may know stories about F. A. Kekul and D. I. Mendeleev, to whom their most important discoveries appeared in a dream. Such breakthroughs of the human spirit can also be compared with influx, and this is true, although somewhat simplified. Scientists worked hard before the subconscious mind generated an answer to their questions and searches. If at the mention of the object of study the reader is presented with Emelya lying on the stove, then this image is deeply erroneous. Life is not a beautiful fairy tale, and just like that nothing is given in it. Sometimes you can be sad about this, but there's nothing to be done.
By the way, if someone has forgotten, then F. A. Kekule is a famous German organic chemist who discovered the structure of benzene.
Since the mentioned scientists represent hoary antiquity, according to modern adolescents, a more recent example is needed. There is also a movie character who took the principle of acting on a hunch. This hero is Dr. House. He thinks hard every series, then an insight happens, as if on a schedule. It is characteristic that such a state of things, repeated all the time, does not bother.
Knowledge and tricks of memory
There are people who are proud that they don’t know the rules of the Russian language, or rather, don’t remember them, but at the same time they are quite literate in Russian. The people call it "innate literacy." One can argue about the existence of the latter. Some say that it is, while others say that it is not. Who is right? The truth is in the middle. A person who does not read books does not possess any intuition (this is an inspiration in other words) in relation to the Russian language. Probably, by "innate literacy" they mean a great experience in reading books, during which people remember and polish the images of words. The latter, in turn, are delayed in their subconscious. And it is quite natural that men and women who are faithful to the doctrine of "innate literacy" think that this knowledge has always been with them, which, of course, is not true.
And one more nuance will be interesting to know for all adherents of such a theory. If you can still remember Russian spelling, then with punctuation it is already more difficult to do a similar trick: too many details, notes, exceptions and features.
Important to understand the task
Let us open the secret: we painfully thought about what to write about the meaning of the word “influx”, except for the obvious. The result of long and heavy deliberation was the text that the reader sees in front of him. That is, the general idea was understandable, because it was set by the topic, but what specifically to discuss was not too clear. And so the object of the study appeared in all its splendor and prompted the idea of "innate literacy" and the puzzle developed.
What follows from this? First of all, the relevance of a tool in solving a problem is important. Inspiration is good where the material has already been collected, certain experience has been accumulated, but some important detail is missing, without which the goal cannot be achieved, here intuition will come to the rescue. When we talk about such normative things as the rules of the Russian language, here we should not rely only on our memory, because it often fails. It is best to check the information in dictionaries and directories.
