# Hi Vox readers, welcome to Metaculus! This is the 2020 version of our Future Perfect Question Series. The 2021 version is [here](https://www.metaculus.com/questions/6258/future-perfect-2021-series/).

[Dylan Matthews](https://twitter.com/dylanmatt), [Kelsey Piper](https://twitter.com/KelseyTuoc), and [Sigal Samuel](https://twitter.com/SigalSamuel) of Vox's *Future Perfect* have made a number of  predictions with probability estimates virtuously attached. [Their set of 2020 forecasts](https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/1/13/21055740/trump-reelection-biden-nomination-brexit-2020-predictions) is high-profile modeling of excellent epistemic norms.

With *Future Perfect*'s blessing, we've taken their prediction list, and collected it into a Metaculus series.  The series includes some already-existing Metaculus questions, along with some defined to be identical to those in the article. 
For the new ones, in case of ambiguity in their resolution we will defer to the (presumed) followup article in Vox assessing their accuracy (see [here](https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/1/7/21051910/predictions-trump-brexit-recession-2019-2020) for the 2020 article assessing the accuracy of their 2019 predictions.)
