For example our intuition tells us there is a past that was a now that is and a future that will be.
It tells us that in the world there are definate objects that are distinct
It tells us that that the world is causally determined
Are these faculties reliable?

I rely heavily on my intuition. I do a logic check sometimes because there are certain situations that can compromise my intuition to some degree. And those are the moments in my life where I feel crippled - as though I've suddenly gone blind. My gut is usually very accurate, but that is not to say I always listen to it.
You may be onto something, but I'm not sure it's a use it or lose it ability, as much as a pay attention to it thing- at least for me that seems to be the case. Maybe when you feel secure, you feel that you need it. I personally pay attention to it no matter what, because it's brought me some excellent problem-solving endeavors (mental and emotional), especially since I've gotten to my older years.
These days, I feel very safe in my surroundings, and have acquired the invisibility of an older lady, so that I can run errands in my pyjamas if I like and no one even notices. I'd say it's a rare day indeed when anything trips my radar on -- so I think it may be a "use it or lose it" ability.
