"Forecasting produces good information, forces accountability and rejects sophistry, sensationalism and biased thinking. It is a perfect check on traditional media outlets and a potential antidote to polarization."

If you're at #Consensus2022 anon come to the Big Ideas stage on the expo floor.

Forecasting is a critical skill for humans to navigate an uncertain world. Prediction markets can help us get better at it, argue @ClayGraubard and @andrew_eaddy, who will present on the Big Ideas stage at #Consensus2022.

"Forecasting is also difficult, time consuming and underpaid. Adoption will require many approaches, and...prediction markets are one of the most hopeful by bringing…incentives and market efficiencies into the forecasting process.”

"Barring belief in preordination, we live in a probabilistic world. Forecasting is something we all do, whether or not we know it. It is a tool, it is a process, and critically, it is a skill to generate information."
