I think we’ll see backward induction but after votes have been cast. This is, of course, all dependent on an unproven idea that the goal is vote manipulation. We also can consider the ROI. Maybe they are OK with the loss. Having trump bets go from 60 -> 50 may be a better investment than traditional advertising.

Belief is the most powerful drug and our greatest superpower. Innovation, invention, social systems, and even language itself rest on shared and individual beliefs. But is this a defining hallmark of humanity, or do elephants, dolphins, and other species believe as we do? Have we manifested Sapien Supremacy?

You’re right, but given the four days it took in 2020, it will be possible to remove those bets after every vote has been cast but before every vote has been counted. As it stands now the Kamala option might be very lucrative.

Given that you don’t even need to hold those bets until the end they are an even cheaper way to manipulate public opinion than they first appear

Realizing that BTC is a memecoin made me rethink everything about memecoins.

Ignoring the politics. This is fantastic marketing for Polymarket. They are getting huge exposure to their target market.

Culture needs broad participation to *be* culture. The brightest innovations have always come from the masses and margins. Epics like The Odyssey, 西遊記, Beowulf, and 1001 Nights were born from oral tradition. Kabuki and K-pop first thrived in red-light districts, and The Globe was built by a joiner-turned-actor. Fashion and music follow the same pattern. Jeans, Stanley, Carhartt, sneakers, and streetwear all first became popular in working-class communities. The Beatles met in public school, and nearly every modern and popular music genre—hip-hop, rock, jazz, pop, and country— is the result of the appropriation of marginalized Black communities. The wealthy being in a non marginalized minority can only adopt and amplify cultural trends.

I would love to join this channel. I just watched Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) for the first time and I have *opinions* about the ending.

When phrases enter the vernacular, it’s natural to forget their semantic power. Today I was reminded of the eloquence behind “touch grass”. What better way to anchor oneself amidst digital disorientation than by literally grounding oneself on the earth and connecting with life.

I should have known you would have caught that donotresearch post! I forgot that it was you who first showed me that page. @tinyrainboot I was just reading through this article over the weekend and it got me thinking. Do either of you think that the concept of “touching grass” is evolving into the very rejection of cringe/based irony that the post-cringe aesthetic requires? It is after all, a call to detach from the irony and narrative saturated internet in favor of genuine and present experiences.

Haha I was struggling to fill the lower right of the quadrant. It’s mostly all Le Guin. Gurren Lagaan is also a bit of a stretch

I totally agree with this and think it’s necessary for a new user experience. It currently seems that most big channels are keeping things open which is really encouraging and I love to see the community leading so positively.
