I'll resolve this whichever way I'm persuaded. Please persuade me in the comments. Small subsidy!

Current thinking:

Pro

  • Forecasting and markets are cool

  • I want to be more involved in Manifold and stuff like it

Con

  • Forecasting is not my deepest interest

  • I have other deep interests competing for my time, some of which compensate me much better

It’ll be a more intimate setting than most conferences and you’ll get to meet a lot of very interesting and smart people!
