I've been invited to attend Manifest to speak about "prediction markets as commitment devices" (or another topic of my choosing). Now I need to figure out if I can make it!

Resolution Criteria and Fine Print

Almost no chance of ambiguity here. I'd be flying from Portland so either I will or I won't! But just in case: setting foot in the venue at any point during the official dates counts as a YES.

I'll trade in this market, since the point is to have the best possible probability. But I promise to say everything I'm thinking in the comments and wait a minute before placing trades. You're encouraged to front-run me!

And flight purchased!

Coordination in progress with the organizers. It's official that I'm going!

I filled out the thing and got my ticket as an invitee 🎉 😊

Next: flights...

Next update: my arm is officially being twisted. Another possible title: "The Theory And Practice Of Predicting One's Own Behavior".

I've found it really interesting to see people's personal goal markets, lots to talk about there.

@dreev I took the plunge and bought a ticket on a 50/50 chance you'll give this talk!

@DannyOBrien If you're being even half serious then I'd say we can send the probability into the 90s now. 🤩

@dreev done!

First thought: I'm thinking this should be well above 50%. I don't have a specific conflict on the calendar and I'm overdue to visit the Bay Area.
