Perhaps there is a bet on whether that taste will remain too! I knew of polymarket before, not really investigated it. It’s interesting perhaps in a hypothetical sense, but when you see it for real it’s a bit disturbing.
Yeah, what a world. Can you place a bet if someone is alive by the end of the year? This is prohibited, (it’s known as an assassination market) but there were bets on who became president. And well, if someone is dead, they can’t become president.
Things get uncomfortable very quickly.
But apart from that Martin, I am well and I hope you are too! It’s a pleasure to reply to your comments!
I know. I think he might be the best counter-example to all of this. I tried to make this case in the essay. I have visited his grave in West Chester, P.A. It is one of the most basic grave stones in the cemetery. He could have opted for a reserved plot in Arlington. I think this tells you everything you need to know about the man.

The most 2026 thing ever. Everything is a casino.
Will Adrian get 100 likes on a poem by the end of 2026?
I will take the yes side!
Bro, we’re so close, You is right on the threshold. Can’t believe it to be honest.
You will get there, I’m sure of it!
Josh! I laughed out loud when I saw the betting. It struck me as sick and deeply human. What a world.
I hope all is well!

As if the obscenity of war weren't obscenity enough
I know. What a crazy world.
And now, Substack is in on the poly market game. Swell
