Predicting

The predicting part of the game was inspired by the concept of "Superforecasters" -- a group of people who try to actually get better at predicting future events (a much-needed skill in our age of non-stop punditry). The basic gist of their method is:

  1. Make clear, quantifiable, falsifiable predictions.

    • Bad: The economy will do better.
    • Good: The S&P 500 will close higher than 3000 points.
  2. Set a maturation date for the prediction.

    • Bad: The economy will do better "soon"
    • Good: The S&P 500 will close higher than 3000 points on January 1, 2018
  3. Keep score.

    • Go back and see if your predictions came true.
    • If not, try to figure out why you were wrong.
