"Anything Can Happen" is a Myth

This week, we're debunking the myth that "anything can happen." 
In today's episode, we'll explore how adopting this mindset can increase uncertainty and cognitive load—especially in high-risk environments—and how it might set us up for failure. Instead of believing that "anything can happen," we'll focus on reducing uncertainty by deepening our understanding of human behavior and utilizing practical tools like game theory, probability, and Bayes’ theorem.

Join us as we dive into why strategic thinking, modeled through games, is essential for real-life decision-making. We'll discuss how you can leverage both the knowns and unknowns in human interactions to predict behavior more effectively, minimize ambiguity, and ultimately make better, more informed decisions. Whether you're involved in law enforcement training, making everyday choices, or viewing human behavior as a strategic game, this episode is packed with insights to help you think sharper and be better prepared for whatever comes your way.
