The Role of Intuition in Decision-Making

Intuition plays a crucial role in decision-making, particularly in high-pressure situations. A notable example is British naval officer Michael Riley during Operation Desert Storm, where he relied on his gut feeling to identify a potential threat. Despite not being able to distinguish between a U.S. jet and a Silkworm missile on his radar, his intuition, built over weeks of experience, prompted him to act quickly and ultimately save lives. This case illustrates how intuition can be informed by experience, leading to rapid, life-saving decisions even under extreme uncertainty.
