Optimizing Risk

What are the factors that affect risk? If we assume that we are aware of what affects risk, is it possible that we alter the decisions such that predictions we make have an increase in the potential of their outcome?

Risk obviously is when you have no more data, trying to beat predictions. How do you weight risk in terms of cost and value?

How can you be aware the values you need are correct?

Is instinct, passion and desire the determing factors of for the choice or your thoughts should weight more? Therefore making experience in thinking a requirement?

To avoid falling in a loop, someone should focus on optimizing how to spend time and not over-optimizing choices, therefore decreasing risk not getting caught in the wrong idea.

Where do socialization and communication meet, there will be always a new great idea awaiting great execution.
