Why the Smartest People in the Room Are Usually Wrong

Here's something that should shake your confidence: in 2011, a retired government employee from Nebraska with no special credentials started outpredicting CIA analysts, celebrated pundits, and sophisticated prediction markets on questions like whether Russia would annex Ukrainian territory. Bill Flack wasn't lucky - he was part of a revolution in how we think about the future. When over 20,000 volunteers participated in a government-sponsored forecasting tournament, researchers discovered something remarkable: the ability to see the future isn't a mystical gift or the domain of credentialed experts. It's a learnable skill, built on specific thinking habits that anyone can develop. The catch? Most of us - especially the experts we trust most - are doing it completely wrong. In 1956, a renowned medical specialist diagnosed Archie Cochrane with terminal cancer. Cochrane, a physician himself, accepted this death sentence without question and began planning his final months. The specialist was completely wrong. What's terrifying isn't just the misdiagnosis - it's that neither man questioned it. They fell into what psychologists call the certainty trap, where our minds rush to judgment and then defend those judgments against all evidence. This trap has killed countless people throughout history. George Washington's physicians bled, purged, and blistered him to death in 1799, supremely confident in treatments that were actually hastening his demise. For centuries, doctors rarely questioned methods that ranged from useless to lethal. As one medical historian put it, they were "like blind men arguing over the colors of the rainbow."
