First line of the haiku, written by @GavrielK

Resources are few

Background

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. Interpret that as broadly as you like.

Users will submit suggestions for each line of the haiku, and I will try to find a random person at EAG to select the specific line sometime tomorrow afternoon. (Failing that, I will select the line myself.) Users who predicted and bet on the chosen line will win big!

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

Thanks to Everett at EAG SF for selecting the winning line!
