How will this market resolve if the “self-immolated” person does not die?
Here is the Merriam-Webster definition of self-immolation: “a deliberate and willing sacrifice of oneself often by fire”.
English-language Wikipedia’s short description of the practice is “Ritualistic and political suicide method”, while the first sentence of the article says it is “the act of setting oneself on fire”.
@imtryingmybest both Claude and ChatGPT say it still counts when I try to ask in an unbiased way"
Does a person count as having self-immolated if they survive having set themself on fire?
@TiredCliche yeah, but most of the entries are from east Asia and the pacifics. Didn't know that this was making a revival in the west.
