Send us Fan Mail
What if the uncanny, almost mystical "gift" of a veteran wargamer predicting an enemy's hidden position isn't a supernatural trait at all, but a highly refined biological process? In Part 1 of this episode, Will strips the mythology away from expert intuition, grounding it in decades of Nobel Prize-caliber cognitive science.
