polymathwannabe comments on Forecasting rare events

[polymathwannabe]

Off the top of my head, other rare events worth anticipating:

• Assassination of a head of state and/​or coup d’état

• War between and/​or within highly developed countries

• A new pandemic

• Unavoidable meteorite

• Extraterrestrial invasion

Thanks! I added pandemics (though not in the depth I should have). I’ll look at some of the others.
