Uncommon Sense

+ + A free, experimental program launched in partnership with Stanford Effective Altruism. Priority applications close February 1st at midnight PT. After that applications will be evaluated on a rolling basis. + +
+ Play with cutting-edge artificial intelligence and try to figure out its impact on the world. +
+
+ Challenge your ideas. +
+
+ Compete in the The Economist's World in 2021 forecasting challenge. +
+ +
+ What is Uncommon Sense? + Our program is a free online seminar for high schoolers offered in partnership with + + Stanford Effective Altruism + + that gives inquisitive high schoolers the opportunity to master decision-making techniques based + in philosophy, economics, game theory, cognitive science, and statistics. Our teaching team of + Stanford students provides students with valuable critical thinking skills in a unique + discussion-based format. +
+  +
+
+
Compete
+

+ Students will use the skills they learn in Uncommon Sense to compete in global forecasting + competitions like + + The Economist's World in 2021 forecasting challenge + for the chance to win the + title of Superforecaster. In these contests, students will practice answers to questions such as + “How many COVID-19 vaccines will be approved and/or authorized for emergency use by the U.S. FDA + as of 31 March 2021?” and “What will be China's year-on-year GDP growth rate for the second quarter + of 2021?” +

+
+   +
+
Learn
+

+ In addition to forecasting, accepted students will learn to build models of complex systems, create + Bayesian priors, examine and combat their cognitive biases, and make more accurate predictions. Classes + are project-based, incorporating interactive activities such as a cold war nuclear simulation, an + iterated prisoner’s dilemma tournament, betting with fake currency, and much more. +

+
+   +
+
Reconsider Your World
+

+ Above all, Uncommon Sense will help you reconsider the countless decisions you make each day, like: +

+ +

+

+

+ +

+ Too often, these decisions are automatic, or influenced by our cognitive biases, or + dictated by social norms. + + Even people’s most strongly held opinions are often just a product of their environment, not + something they’ve actually thought through and come to their own conclusion on ⁠— you can + predict someone’s political party with, + + 70% accuracy + + based on how their parents voted. +

+
+
+ +

+ Graduates of Uncommon Sense will gain the skills they need to come to their own conclusions about + critical problems, make more informed choices, and better understand the levers and gears in the world + around them. +

+

+ The program is free for all admitted students and occurs weekly on Wednesday from 4-5 pm PT. +
