Predictions

On this page, I attempt to “pre-register” predictions by committing to making them publicly here. I assign each prediction a confidence level and a resolution date.1 As they resolve, I’ll come back and keep a scorecard. I don’t edit entries, so I’m committing to showcasing my failures as well as my successes, and you can verify things via the page’s change history.
