“Intuition is simply another word for expertise,” Kahneman told the audience at Pfizer Auditorium at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University last week during the 14th-annual Lynford Lecture Series, sponsored in part by the Institute for Mathematics and Advanced Supercomputing (IMAS). 

A panel including Gillian Tett, Jeffrey Lynford, and Nassim Nicholas Taleb, joined Kahneman onstage after the lecture during the event’s Q&A session.
