This will be resolved based on my judgement of the vibes of top Rationalist voices in 4 years.


If through their Tweets and Substack posts, I get the sense that they are unhappy with Trump's reforms, and that what got done was extremely damaging, vastly outweighs any benefits, and was worse than what other post WWII presidents have done, then I will resolve YES. Otherwise, NO.

EDIT: This would be judged from 1960 with JFK (68 years before 2028).

Market will be resolved seriously, even though it is a parody of https://manifold.markets/JamesGrugett/will-prominent-rationalists-judge-t#63ou9fccnl4. I will try to be as fair and objective as possible. Furthermore, I will not bet here.

If Trump does 10% of what he's promised and they don't, might wanna start saying it irrationalists.

That, or some weird consequentialist excuse like "uh, actually grug with a stick 25252 years ago."

bought Ṁ10 NO

I know this is a parody market, but what does rationalist voices mean? This could resolve very differently depending on who that includes.

@MingCat Let's go with Scott Alexander and Nick Bostrom. If their opinions are not available, happy to entertain alternatives.
