Decision-Making Under Pressure: Why Wisdom Matters More Than Intelligence

from The Third Horizon

In this episode of The Third Horizon, John is joined by Lambit Opik for a focused conversation on why intelligence alone is not enough when pressure is high. Drawing on experience inside political systems, alongside examples from technological acceleration and humanity’s expansion into space, this episode explores how urgency, speed, and certainty can distort judgment — even in advanced institutions. Together, they examine what wisdom looks like when decisions must be made under pressure, and why restraint, responsibility, and long- term thinking matter more than ever.
