predicting and forecasts ?

autismtwo

has anyone else got an obsession on predicting, forecasting and probabilities, a mindset which needs to know the future before you arrive there. I think I am risk adverse and socially bias against society, so I need to know to feel safe.

  • I've got a bit of this myself. Right now I'm reading The Signal and the Noise, by US election statistician Nate Silver. He's clearly fascinated by the topic, and while the bits about baseball statistics go right over my head, there's a lot that's good about forecasting and prediciton (and why they mean different things in different disciplines). I'd recommend it.
