We often measure intelligence by how fluent it sounds in words, code, or answers.
But real intelligence is tested somewhere else: inside complex systems.

In this episode, we explore a powerful idea emerging from modern AI research:
why intelligence breaks when it leaves text and enters the real world and what everyday systems like airports can teach us about it.

Airports aren’t just planes and runways. They are living networks of constraints, timing, coordination, and feedback. One small failure can cascade across the entire system. And that’s exactly where today’s AI and often human decision-making struggles.

This episode connects cutting-edge research with real-world intuition, revealing why the future of intelligence isn’t about sounding smarter, but about learning how systems behave, adapt, and recover.

If you’re a founder, engineer, systems thinker, or simply curious about how intelligence actually works this conversation will change how you see AI, learning, and complex systems.
