"Philip Tetlock is one of the very, very best minds in the social sciences today. He has come up with one brilliant idea after another, and superforecasting is no exception. Everyone agrees that the way to know if an idea is right is to see whether it accurately predicts the future. But which ideas, which methods, which people have an actual, provable track record of non-obvious predictions vindicated by the course of events? The answers will surprise you, and have radical implications for politics, policy, journalism, education, and even epistemology—how we can best gain knowledge about the world we live in."
- Steven Pinker, Johnstone Family Professor, Harvard; Author, THE SENSE OF STYLE; THE BETTER ANGELS OF OUR NATURE
"Philip Tetlock is the world expert on a vital subject. Superforecasting is the wonderful story of how he and his research team got ordinary people to beat experts in a very serious game. It is also a manual for thinking clearly in an uncertain world. Read it."
—Daniel Kahneman, winner of the Nobel Prize and author of THINKING FAST AND SLOW

This conflicts with Foo Camp which I was going to use to recruit people. Do you think this will be interesting? Do you know Philip Tetlock?
How are you? Where are you?

Foo is in Sebastopol and Brockman's thing is Palo Alto so close but exactly the same dates. Are you going to Brockman's thing?
