This is an experiment to see if we can use a prediction market to compose a haiku about (some aspect) of EA.

A haiku is a poem of 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables each. The subject matter is [effective altruism](https://www.effectivealtruism.org/). Interpret that as broadly as you like.

Users will submit suggestions for each line of the haiku, and I will choose a random person here at our EAG coworking event to select the specific line. Users who predicted and bet on the chosen line will win big!

This is a market on the first line of the haiku. After the first line has been selected, I will create a market for the second.

Thanks to Kate, our randomly selected judge, for selecting the first line of the haiku! Good work everyone on your submissions!

Because this is what longtermists and shorttetmists agree on, multiplying "good done" calculations by "how many people it is done for" :D
Great idea for a market, wish I could tip it!
(A bleak opening to resolve afterward with hope)
( > A haiku is a poem of 3 lines of 5, 7, and 5 syllables each I know this isn't about the market itself, but that's not really the core of what a haiku is :D ... A lot of them don't actually follow the 3-5-3 or 5-7-5 rhythm)
@JoyVoid What IS the core of a haiku then out of curiosity?
