Protos notes that the bettors in Polymarket are increasing the odds of Jesus returning this year. The odds are still extremely small. It turns out that they’re not really betting on Jesus, they’re working a supercomplex superweird linkage of strategic steps to gain a slight arbitrage advantage. The bet itself isn’t on Jesus:
The “odds” of the son of God returning are based on binary options gamblers placing bets on whether or not UMA token holders would attest to Jesus Christ’s reported return.
That’s weird enough, but apparently the pro-Jesus bettors are assuming a hundred other back-and-forth thingamajigs resulting from those UMA thingamajigs. Given these insane assumptions, the future value of some other thingamajig would be higher or lower or something. I can’t begin to understand the first step, let alone the hundredth step.
THIS IS WHY BETTORS AND STOCK TRADERS SHOULDN’T BE ALLOWED TO RUN THE ECONOMY AND GOVERNMENT.
When you turn the world over to stock traders, quality and life and peace become utterly irrelevant. You end up with Sam Bankman and Sam Altman and George Soros running things. Bankman is perfectly willing to destroy the world if he predicts an arbitrage advantage. Soros ACTUALLY DESTROYED several entire countries to gain an arbitrage advantage.
Natural Law is EXTREMELY strict about betting. Islam takes this part of the law seriously, while the other two major religions have surrendered.
Rulers who implement Natural Law, like FDR, heavily restrict stock traders and don’t allow them to take control of anything meaningful.
