No statement again? 😭

@firstuserhere nice

While in the process of writing the Rationalussy Wiki, I realized another overlooked figurehead in rationalussy. Martin Randall clearly contributed to rationalussy discourse by creating this market: https://manifold.markets/MartinRandall/what-is-the-best-definition-of-rati

What is the best definition of rationalussy?

Resolved 4. Resolves to my best judgment as heavily influenced by comments and bets on this market.

In case tragedy strikes

Has a statement been written? My fingers are itching to sign it (only if it is up to very high and rationalussy standards obviously)

@dgga Maybe if the probability gets lower

Consider it signed by me, I will endorse rationalussy

I volunteer as a rationalussy figurehead

@inerati You’re the top trader on the Rationalussy leaderboard: https://manifold.markets/group/rationalussy?r=RGFuTWFuMzE0

Rationalussy

Manifold public category with 13 followers

so you already make the cut for this letter

The polls are in! @levifinkelstein, @TheWiggleMan, and @ManualBlinking are all officially considered big public figureheads in rationalussy:

/ButtocksCocktoasten/has-levifinkelstein-made-major-cont

/ButtocksCocktoasten/has-thewiggleman-made-major-contrib

/ButtocksCocktoasten/has-manualblinking-made-major-contr

The other three candidates I have polled so far did not break the required 69% in their polls:

/ButtocksCocktoasten/has-conflux-made-major-contribution

/ButtocksCocktoasten/has-johnsmith9be-made-major-contrib

/ButtocksCocktoasten/has-stralor-made-major-contribution

However, @Conflux is currently tied for 10th place on the Rationalussy creator leaderboard, so he still counts as a public figurehead in rationalussy. Also, I realize that I mistyped @JohnSmithb9be's username in that poll, so maybe I should rerun it, since people may have voted No after clicking on the username and seeing the 404 error. I will see what traders think of this.

I am currently running three more polls for potential candidates!

/ButtocksCocktoasten/has-flaffen-made-major-contribution

/ButtocksCocktoasten/has-eliezeryudkowski-made-major-con

/ButtocksCocktoasten/has-mira-made-major-contributions-t

@ButtocksCocktoasten FLAFFEN, Yudkowski, and Mira all broke the 69% threshold in their polls, so they are considered public figures in rationalussy as well!

I would like to nominate Conflux as having made major contributions to rationalussy discourse. Today, he revealed that Manifold's wifi password is "rationalussy" on the Market Manipulation podcast.

@JosephNoonan Actually, pretty much everyone who was nominated for the First Rationalussy Award and isn't already a "public figure in rationalussy" should be considered. Especially Levi, the Wiggle Man, John Smith, and Manual Blinking. Maybe Mira as well for creating the market that led to Levi's name change.

@JosephNoonan this is indeed the case

I was hoping this would resolve YES if there was a well-recognized statement written on a physical rationalussy.

How does one receive a Rationalussy Award?

@ShadowyZephyr It is awarded to people who show outstanding dedication to rationalussy
