SUMMARY - Risk Intelligence: How to Live with Uncertainty by Dylan Evans

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes.



*As you read this summary, you will learn that uncertainty and ambiguity are now an integral part of our modern world and that human beings are ill-adapted, uneducated and reluctant to deal with them. Nevertheless, the mastery of techniques and the adoption of certain states of mind make it possible to reverse this fatality: this is what "risk intelligence" allows. If its use is more or less innate depending on the individual, you will soon be able to determine your level, how it works and acquire the skills that could make you a true strategist.



*You will also learn : what is the use of risk intelligence?; how to determine your own risk quotient; what the "darkened room" is; the biases of knowledge; the insanity that occurs in groups; how to think in numbers; how to quantify the probable; how to bet and win; how to be aware of one's knowledge.



*Risk intelligence can be defined as the ability to estimate the probability of an event occurring accurately, based on one's own knowledge. Like a light bulb in a dark room, it marks out the darkness. It is useful neither in total darkness nor in full light, but in the in-between where knowledge is fragmented. It is a component of the mind and as such, like IQ or other forms of intelligence, it can be developed.
