I'm a 30-year-old first-year medical student on a full tuition scholarship. I was a super-forecaster in the Good Judgment Project. I plan to donate a kidney in June. I'm a married polyamorous woman.

Before participating in the Good Judgment Project did you think you were a particularly good forecaster?

Do you believe you have an entrepreneurial edge because of your ability, if you were to pursue it?

Have you used your abilities to hack your life for the better?

I realize I could research this myself -- at least enough to ask a more informed version of this question -- but I've been procrastinating that since when I first read your comment, so:

Could you talk about your decision to donate the kidney and what your judgments of the tradeoffs were? (I assume, since you didn't mention otherwise, that this donation is not to a friend or family member.)
