Sinopsis

Famous Wrong Predictions explores the captivating history of forecasting failures, revealing how even experts can be spectacularly wrong about the future. It delves into cognitive biases and flawed reasoning that lead to prediction errors, demonstrating how over-reliance on existing data and limited imagination can derail even the most informed forecasts. For example, the book examines why major innovations were often dismissed, despite their transformative potential.

 
The book uniquely blends historical analysis with insights from cognitive science and behavioral economics, offering a multidisciplinary perspective on why predictions fail. Structured in three parts, it begins by introducing core concepts of prediction, then presents instructive case studies spanning technology, economics, and social trends, and concludes by analyzing the underlying causes of these failures, providing lessons for better decision-making.

 
Readers will gain valuable insights into the limitations of human foresight and learn to critically assess future possibilities.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
    Every decision you will ever make is a bet, placed inside a fog, against other minds. 
     
    You think you are deciding. You are also broadcasting. Someone is reading you. Someone is hiding something. And the fog between you is not a metaphor. It can be measured. 
     
    Signal and Strategy is a four-part journey through the two hidden sciences behind every high-stakes choice: information theory, which measures uncertainty, and game theory, which studies the people standing in that fog with you. This is not a cartoon of the Prisoner's Dilemma. This is not Shannon recited like a syllabus. This is the craft as it was lived, by people who could not afford a pretty theory. 
     
    You will walk with Marian Rejewski as he halves the fog around Enigma. You will sit in a pine forest as Poland gives its greatest secret away, and learn why trust is a bet, not a feeling. You will watch a naval officer bait an enemy into revealing a target. You will stand with a colonel who refused a screaming alarm because the details did not add up. You will meet a machine that plays a stone almost no human would dare, and a spacecraft whispering from sixteen billion miles away, kept alive by the same idea as forgiveness: error correction. 
     
    Across four parts you will learn to: 
    - Measure uncertainty instead of guessing 
    - Keep a ledger of belief, and distrust sudden lurches in your own opinion 
    - Size your bets to your edge, not your excitement 
    - Build trust with costly signals, and forgive noise without feeding exploiters 
    - Use a secret without broadcasting that you hold it 
    - Hear the information in what did not happen: the dog that did not bark 
     
    In a world that sells you more data and calls it wisdom, the advantage belongs to the person who can tell signal from noise, and who can change the game instead of merely surviving it. 
     
    The fog will not disappear. You can finally see its shape. 
     
    This is not about becoming colder. This is about becoming accurate.

  • Manifesto for the Revitalisation of Cities - A Solution to Portugal's Housing Crisis - cover

    The housing crisis in Portugal serves to illustrate a problem that has implications beyond the borders of the country, shedding light on challenges that are faced by major European and global cities. The rise in housing prices, driven by real estate speculation, the growth of tourism and the influx of foreign investment, has made it increasingly challenging for many in the population, especially the middle and lower classes, to access home ownership or renting. 
    The digitalisation of work has opened the possibility for highly qualified professionals to consider where they would like to live, regardless of the physical location of their job. Cities like Lisbon and Porto have become increasingly attractive destinations, offering a good quality of life combined with a range of professional opportunities. Nevertheless, this phenomenon has placed additional strain on the real estate market, leading to rising prices and the displacement of residents to the outskirts. 
    The housing policies that have been adopted thus far have not been as effective as might have been hoped, and in some cases may even have had the opposite effect. It seems that measures such as strict rent control, poorly targeted subsidies and the massive construction of new housing without proper urban and infrastructural planning have not solved the problem, and in some cases may have made it worse. Perhaps it would be beneficial to reconsider these approaches, acknowledging their shortcomings and adapting them to reflect the current situation. 
    It may be worth considering rehabilitating vacant buildings as a viable and sustainable solution. By restoring existing buildings, we can explore ways to increase the supply of affordable housing, revitalise run-down urban areas and preserve historical and cultural heritage to promote more inclusive and sustainable cities.
