Yes, sure, why not. But will Trump and Brexit actually help the common man, or were the IYIs actually correct? It's possible to be disconnected and overconfident and yet still get the right answer.

What a wonderful piece, thank you both author and ghosh very much!<p>The IYI, in my opinion, misses the most important opportunity which is to learn from bad predictions. Especially when predictions are about something big and smart, like nation.

Fun, so long as you don&#x27;t take it too seriously.
