3.00@NicholasKross What if Trump joins the rationalist community, and, after learning the art of rationality, becomes a new man, dropping his old divisive and egotistical ways and instead using his newfound rationality to work for the betterment of humanity? Then, as a newly-made rationalist, he runs on a platform of evidence-based policy while trying to teach his supporters to critically think about what is true and overcome their biases, both intellectual and social. This leads to a new political era where people are better able to reason about politics and no longer let their prejudices taint their judgement. During the course of his campaign, Trump mentions the rationalussy meme in a tweet.
This background process would lead to Trump tweeting the word "rationalussy" but would in fact be good fot the world, so clearly you should be hedging against it not happening.
@JosephNoonan Valid and good! But then the hedge becomes expensive because I'd be buying "NO" shares here lol.
i'm on that "explosive insurance-like payouts" grindset (see Safe Havens by Spitznagel)
@ButtocksCocktoasten I think this isn’t going to happen because the word in question is super obscure. I can’t find a definition of it online, or any evidence of its use outside of this website. Ergo, I have a hard time believing that the former president will use this word.
@nottelling2ccc It may be obscure now, but once every Twitter user simultaneously tweets it, it will become well-known.
