Are we saying there’s a 61% chance of aliens being headlines before 2050, in 30 years? The market is either way overvalued or the resolution criteria/date needs to change

How does this resolve if we find out that the simulation ends outside the solar system and everything outside of it is just a fancy skybox?

bought Ṁ50 NO

I think this market is going to be systematically biased upwards because:

If there are aliens: this market will resolve to yes at finite time

If there are no aliens: this market is unlikely to resolve to No at finite time

So there will be less no voters due to reward discounting

bought Ṁ100 YES

Is there human-level or above intelligent life in the Milky Way?

There's this species on the third planet around Sol that seems to have human-level intelligence..

predicts YES

Why 2050 close date? @Socrates

Does this resolve? Is so how?

Excluding us, I assume.

bought Ṁ50 YES

And any non-human intelligent life that may arise on Earth
