Why don't people who casually say things like this on the other app realize that prediction markets exist? You can have words backed by genuine risk of meaningful personal consequences there, and it's much more peaceful.

Unfortunately, some people don’t want peace, they want attention.

building /bracket | talking /greatbooks | ex-BCG, ex-PHD | poli + phil + econ

That’s what happens when the incentives are aligned around attention instead of peace.

Soooo much tweet bait. And people calling it different names to make it seem more useful to society. 

It's true though that is what you get in an attention economy.
