Superforecasting: How Ordinary People Outsmarted Intelligence Agencies
Superforecasting: The Art and Science of Prediction is a book by Philip E. Tetlock Dan Gardner that explains how one can become an expert at forecasting and apply this skill to any situation in life. In the chapter titled “Superforcasters” the author starts with an example of a judgement of all the intelligence agencies that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and how it turned out to be totally wrong. Even the agencies spending billions of dollars and having a lot of data at their disposal could make that mistake. Then the author talks about the study, Good Judgment Project, which was basically a tournament organized by IARPA where they asked people to give their forecasts on real-life scenarios from the world, for example “Will an outbreak of H5N1 in China kill more than ten in the next six months?”. The result of this study they did find some superforecasters who had the most accurate results among other forecasters in the study.

The Midnight Library
tle In the quiet hours between midnight and dawn, where regrets whisper loudest, Ethan found himself standing before an imposing oak door, its surface etched with constellations he didn’t recognize. The air hummed with the scent of aged paper and inevitability. Pushing it open, he stepped into a library boundless as the cosmos, shelves spiraling into shadows, each holding leather-bound volumes glowing with faint, golden light.
