What I learnt myself is that, our brain does an amazing job of processing a lot of circumstantial evidence and identifying patterns to give us a good idea about the world view that makes sense to us.
You mean a terrible job, leading to uncontrolled confirmation bias and mind rot if not tempered by reason.
You instincts are not always correct, but nothing is. More often than not, your instincts will lead you the right way, and those times it does not, it learns for the future.
I am sorry to hear that you haven't learnt to truly trust your instincts. I hope you reach there some time.
The outcome of the reasoning is one of the inputs to our emotional brain, along with observations, circumstantial evidence, patterns caught by subconscious, etc.
The instinct you feel is the outcome of everything considered together.
You are solely focusing on the second part and missing the first part. I understand where you are coming from. I spent decades thinking that way.
One thing I’ve noticed is that you cannot convince anyone that the mind/brain works in a higher way than they know. It’s like convincing a fish in the ocean that there is a world of talking people on the ‘land’.

You seem to be missing the second step.
Reasoning happens in the logical brain.
