I haven't started it yet.
This market is a commitment device; I'm putting my own money at stake to incentivise me to succeed.

@Lorenzo Very much so! Highly recommended, although you maybe don't have to read the whole thing like I did...
@Conflux Almost done and see no reason why I won't finish now. Just need to find some time to read the last bit in one go so I can read something else 😅
Point taken about the middle third! I'm still pretty sure I can do this - I can increase the rate if need be. I'd bet more if I had more M$.
(As I type this, the text above says that I sold M$9 of YES - this might be technically true since I still had some NO shares from creating the market, but what I actually did was buy M$50 of YES.)
@Lorenzo I'll try not to disappoint you - but hey, even if I fail you make a profit!
Figured I should try to restore the market to the baseline myself so your money actually goes to me...
Paying M$ to incentivise you to read it, since I also think it's a very fun and interesting book! (Probably my second favourite book)
I would suggest quickly skimming the obviously outdated stuff (mostly about neuroscience), or parts that you don't find interesting (for me it was the dialogue about the phonograph), so you can focus on the cool stuff.
Really hope to lose this one!
