Prediction markets (i.e. futarchy/decision markets) fuel my passion; the futures they shape are my muse.

The damage to our bodies from plastics is nuts. Video in comments.
🚨Survey of 3,179 people showed association of congestive heart failure with re-heating plastic take out containers. They also fed rats food from plastic containers that were heated for 1, 5, and 15 min (and also in glass). Inflammatory cell infiltration, mitochondrial swelling, and serum indicators of oxidative stress and inflammation were significantly elevated in the myocardium in plastic compared to glass.

💯 This feels obvious in the crypto community but it's really not understood by the vast majority of people, but it is coming.

This is just the beginning. The changes we're making are a transformative shift. Literally building the future here!
👀 We’re excited to share some important updates about Zeitgeist’s evolution. We’re sharpening our focus on our core mission: empowering organizations and individuals through sophisticated prediction markets to make better, data-driven decisions. As part of this refinement, we’re doubling down on Futarchy, an innovative governance model designed to improve how organizations harness and apply collective intelligence.
We want to thank Logan Saether, Zeitgeist’s founder and CEO, who stepped down at the end of December, for his leadership in laying the foundation for what we’ve built. Moving forward, co-founder David Perry, a longtime veteran in the prediction markets domain, will be stepping in to lead the company as we enter this new chapter.
Our product roadmap is stronger than ever, and the Zeitgeist team is energized and committed to delivering meaningful value to our users. The future of Zeitgeist has never looked brighter. Stay tuned! 🚀

I know many skeptics of prediction markets. I don't have an ideological faith in them (OK, maybe quasi ideological). But the empirical evidence is they have worked really, really, really well. And did again on Tuesday night.
A short 🧵 about this remarkable picture.

I look forward to this election being settled, its results widely accepted, & the nation unifying again in support of its new leader. (A man can dream can't he?)
