"Intuitive" being another word for "subjective."

The experience of truth and logical consistency is entirely subjective. We can build networks of concepts that trigger the experience in ourselves and in others, but that doesn't make them objectively true - it makes them subjectively persistent and shared.

We acquired a cat recently, and it's interesting that her experience of basic spatial relationships is very different to ours.

She doesn't have the same experience of physics that we do. She sometimes gets confused by inside vs outside, and her experience of moving objects seems to be different to ours. She also gives the impression of experiencing hands and feet as disconnected objects, and not part of a gestalt "human".

We have no guarantees that from an alien point of view, our own experience of physics and of relationships doesn't have equivalent limitations. If the limitations exist, we're not aware of them. But to the extent that our cat's view of the world is probably recognisable by other cats, she's not aware of her limitations either.

It's more of a stretch, but not impossible, that our experience of logical abstraction and consistency may also have limitations. There may be non-human viewpoints where the basic subjective qualia of truth and consistency are more coherent, reliable, and inclusive than our own.

None of this can be proved, but it seems optimistic to me to believe that our version of logic is as good as logic can possibly be.

Yet we're able to discuss topics with each other, this is the basis of Poincare's Inter-subjective reality. There must be some commonalities of experience which allows us to map our whole experiences between each other. We are definitively limited to our experience, it is impossible to discuss or probe anything outside of it when the entire world and its phenomena is only dictated through experience to us.

Experience is a language which makes meaning from the not-experience.

As Bohr put it, "We're all suspended in language."
