@SpencrGreenberg It would be informative and hilariously amusing to see another graphic of people who were wildly wrong about the past.
@SpencrGreenberg Someone who never makes a serious mistake probably never makes anything serious.
@SpencrGreenberg I absolutely love this thread! Doing the lord’s work!
“E-Girls will never be on the blockchain”
Amazing graphic from Nick Ahmann's book showing times when people were hilariously wrong about the future:
"10 Times Scientists Admitted They Were Wrong, and What You Can Learn from Them" Nice post by @ElassadHashem on @ClearerThinkng clearerthinking.org/post/10-times-…
@SpencrGreenberg @IntuitMachine Yep; motivations for meditation vary. Some meditation practices are more gym-like than others. And some meditators (e.g., me) find practice similar to going to gym (feels like a chore & pisses me off), even tho my motivation is unrelated to gaining "muscle." What ya gonna do?
Would you date someone with different politics to you for a long term relationship?
@SpencrGreenberg Robert Austin's turgid "Zen and the Brain" convinced me that (Zen) meditation is a form of re-tuning of the attention system, presumably by training a lot of systems upstream from it via the exercises.
@SpencrGreenberg Your prediction seems pretty accurate so far.
@mbrendan1 Guidepost employed me as a full time philosopher for 8 years. I got to run a think tank on intellectual history and philosophy, teach philosophy to the entire org, write about philosophy, define positions on every culture war issue under the sun, etc.
Importantly, the raters did not know who wrote the reasons. To pass the ITT you have to be able to represent your opponents' reasons well enough so that someone from that position agrees with them as strongly as reasons written by their 'own side' (the "baseline").

@SpencrGreenberg That might suggest a pejorative framing (since the counterfactual isn't that the GDP would simply be smaller). But yes.

This is how all betting with a skill component works. Vast majority (70-90%) of poker players lose. In sports betting, you have to win 55-60% of even-money bets to profit. And yet poker and sports betting have steadily grown in popularity.
the problem with real money prediction markets is... who loses money? there's always platform overhead, and making high quality predictions takes work. if you're not making decent money, you quit. the bottom half can only quit so many times.
