Intuition, an unknown known

Intuition, an unknown known

Intuition has become a regular topic and I finally created a (new) label. The problem with intuition is that nobody knows the how, what, when, where, who orwhy. Intuition is a mystery. It's also a unknown known: we know that we don't know its source. Usually, we trust the source of such data-info. Several decades ago, I had an outside appointment that day. Suddenly,...

Managing expectations (4)

Managing expectations (4)

Quite recently, I started using the words "managing expectations" again. I think, feel, and believe those words are related to revealing (a part of) our intentions.

Bovenstaande zin hoorde ik tijdens een radio commercial. Als je naar de diepte (o.a. details, micro) van onze kennis kijkt, dan heeft dat bedrijf gelijk. Kijk je naar de breedte (o.a. overzicht, macro), dan worden mensen steeds dommer. De Renaissance man - of uomo universale - was voorheen een ideaal. Ik geloof nog steeds in dat ideaal. Voor mij blijkt het...

Why driverless vehicles just can’t quit humans (FT)

Intro LO: The FT article (below) mentions intuition as a difference between human intelligence and artificial intelligent machines: "Machines don’t get tired, bored, drunk or distracted, but they struggle with real-world “edge cases” that require contextual awareness and intuition, such as how best to navigate a blockage on the road, or what a construction worker...
