See here for context: https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/you-dont-want-a-purely-biological. Short version: Scott thinks he can keep journalists from quoting him out of context by replacing all spaces with " N ". I'm skeptical!
This market resolves YES if any reasonably major news outlet quotes Scott while removing the "N"s.
This market will also resolve YES if Scott tries a similar trick in the future, and a major outlet quotes that without context.
This market will also resolve YES if anyone can point to an unambiguous instance of a different person using the same trick, and being quoted out of context.
Otherwise, at the end of the decade, this market will resolve NO.
