Context

Resolves to the name of the person he chooses if he does so, split equal if he chooses several people. All Manifold Staff are combined into the Manifold Staff option. Resolves to "Nobody" if this does not happen by EOY.

Duplicate answers will be disregarded. I will not trade on this market except to bet down duplicate answers.

[Admin update by Austin] Here's a bit more clarification on what I'd like to do:

  • I'll offer M50k to up to 8 members of the Manifold community as a subsidization budget: @firstuserhere, @IsaacKing, @Joshua, @marktweise, @BoltonBailey and up to 3 tbd

  • This budget is meant to be spent solely on subsidizing markets that are in the public interest. I'd expect you to split it up between 5-50 markets, but it's really up to you.

  • This budget is meant to be spent completely before the end of Oct.

  • When you subsidize a market, please leave a comment about why you did so

  • I'll award an additional M5k bonus to each of person who writes up an eg blog post or Manifold market about their reflections on this experiment, before Nov 3rd. Such a writeup would also be a big component in me deciding to renew your budget, and this subsidy experiment.

    • And an additional M2.5k if the post is crossposted somewhere else, for the SEO of backlinking to Manifold's good markets

To apply, submit your name above and write a comment about why I should choose you and what your subsidies would target.
