After market close, for each ethical philosophy, I will create a poll with all the eligible added market options, asking 'who do you think is the best living human, given [ethical philosophy]?'

Unfortunately, current Manifold polls only allow first-past-the-post voting.

Ranks 1 through 10 will earn 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points respectively.

An option’s overall score is the sum of the points it receives across all three trait rankings.

The option with the highest overall score will be declared the winner of this market.

I will try to make at least one trade on all added options, even if I immediately sell, to provide trader bonuses to incentivise adding options.

• Update 2025-12-18 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): The three ethical philosophies being polled are:

  • Aristotle (virtue ethics)

  • Kant (deontology)

  • Bentham (consequentialism)
