Lex posted on Twitter that he wants to host an Israel-Palestine debate and added a link to a list of people who could represent each side. If Lex ends up cancelling this debate then all options resolve to No. If Lex hosts the debate as a series 1:1 then this would still count towards resolving this question.

Details

  1. Multiple Debates: If there are multiple debates, a participant is considered part of the bet if they appear in at least one debate.

  2. Debate Occurrence: The bet is contingent on the debate actually taking place. If the debate is canceled or does not occur within a specified time frame (e.g., 12 months from the announcement), the bet resolves as "No."

@Soli Do you intend to keep this open until the end of the year? Or is it okay to resolve since the debate occurred and no other one is scheduled.

@Shump i would love to resolve this early but the title says โ€œin 2024โ€ so i am not sure if i can just do it

alright folks, update from Lex. glad that Norm is involved

Update from Lex. Norm would be part of the debate anyway apparently

@trixwit solo doesnโ€™t count as a debate but it seems that most likely it will be 2vs2

@Agh why do you keep buying No on Norm?

@Soli Finkelstein claims he won't debate Destiny without Rabbani so this makes sense even without the poll. it's still not confirmed the debate will happen at all, of course, and it's a little odd Lex is soliciting so much feedback along the way.

@shankypanky but rabbani is also on the list of 2vs2 and in case rabbani drops then norm is still included in the 1vs1

@Soli right right I overlooked the fact that he'd do a 1v1 with Benny

@shankypanky and how is benny higher on the list - doesnโ€™t make any sense to me honestly

@Soli I have the same question @Agh , what's the twist?

@Soli just like Norm, Benny is included in all options too? @Agh has strong feelings about a Finkelstein participation No buys make sense lol

@shankypanky exactly my assumption

@Soli i should have bought before asking ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

It's not that deep. I just think his odds are slightly overrated considering he is acting like a prima donna (https://twitter.com/normfinkelstein/status/1751433214399565919) and the fact that he dodged multiple destiny debates before.

But maybe Lex can work his magic ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

@Agh so you generally like Norm?

@shankypanky we are both equally fast xD

Finkelstein should be much higher, and certainly higher than Mouin Rabbani

more profits for us ;)

@Agh thank you for sharing

I just knew. You guys bet him down to 25% after this. But I am smart.
