About this listen

Host Ryan Cole examines why certainty doesn't equal accuracy in forecasting. He explores overconfidence's three forms—overestimation, overplacement, and overprecision—and reveals how experts miscalibrate confidence. Cole discusses practical tools like Brier scores and base-rate thinking to improve prediction accuracy, showing how probabilistic forecasting reduces errors by up to 50 percent.
