Betting on Uncertainty: The Art of Risk Intelligence
Imagine you're absolutely certain your favorite team will win tonight's game. You'd bet your house on it. Now imagine waking up tomorrow homeless. This scenario plays out daily - not just in sports betting, but in business decisions, relationship choices, and career moves. What separates successful decision-makers from the rest isn't necessarily what they know, but how accurately they assess what they don't know. This is risk intelligence: the ability to estimate probabilities in an uncertain world. Unlike IQ, which measures raw cognitive horsepower, risk intelligence measures how well you gauge the limits of your knowledge. It's about knowing exactly how much you don't know - and it might be the most important skill you never learned.
