Glossing over for a moment your potentially inflammatory ideas about what constitutes a "barbaric" society...
/Fe
Sorry I could not resist that given past discussion of whether INTP's have Fe as 4th function
Inflammatory =/= undesirable.
I think we have all the evidence we need to answer this question purely based on the distribution of type today. Clearly, through much of human history favouring Sensing has been advantageous to survival and breeding success. But since intuition is wired into the human neocortex (our brains have not changed significantly since the Pleistocene) it's nonsensical to suggest it wouldn't appear at all.
Intuition is principally about predictive intelligence, spotting patterns, predicting outcomes, linking ideas. So clearly it offers advantages when it comes to strategising, categorising, tool invention etc. I.e. those things which enhance the success of the species or the group, sometimes over that of the individual.
I have no argument with any of this. I never said iNtution would not exist, as you say, if we accept the Cognitive Fucntions model as the framework of our discussion, that would be a stupid thing to say.
I said, how would iNtutivies - i.e. dom or aux - develop, if at all.
