Returning to the #JCPOA was always very low likelihood. But as I have said, the U.S. has already shifted #policy with #Iran. We have a tacit understanding with them now and have been easing our grip on the country via economics and #diplomacy for months. aljazeera.com/news/2023/9/12…
New hardliner Foreign Minister in #Iran. Odds of a #JCPOA return were very low and just got even lower. Iran's #foreign #policy is moving towards independence and self-sufficiency. Fickle partners like the U.S. won't bring Iran the stability #Raisi seeks. youtube.com/watch?v=o-ibyx0V…

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. trib.al/McMhYcM

"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." coindesk.com/layer2/2022/06/…

"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." coindesk.com/layer2/2022/06/…

"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.” coindesk.com/layer2/2022/06/…

Updated prediction (in progress): Mostly unchanged I think, but more confident in the 12.5% world than the 8% one. I know SCAAFs who were >= to my probability but on a shorter duration and also ones who are lower. Robert (@rdeneufville) was at 1% in the episode 👇
This was recorded on Apr 27, but an excellent forecaster like @ClayGraubard putting a 12.5% probability on the use of nuclear weapons as a result of the war in Ukraine was ever so slightly alarming... This is from our new show — 80k After Hours. 80000hours.org/after-hours-p…

Great podcast about forecasting. @robertwiblin talks with two great forecasters (and my friends 🙂) @ClayGraubard @rdeneufville about (super)forecasting in general, forecasting related to the war in Ukraine. They also discuss their views about nuclear risks.
