Within the next few months, I'm going to be releasing an episode with by far my biggest guest yet.

If you're interesting in sponsoring it, shoot me an email at sponsor@dwarkeshpatel.com

Resolution

  • See: /DylanBowman/who-is-dwarkeshs-upcoming-biggest-g

  • Once that market resolves, I will close this one and run a poll for one week, using the [NAME] that it resolved to.

    • The phrasing will be something along the lines of "Do you agree that [NAME] is 'by far the biggest guest yet' on Dwarkesh's podcast?", with options "Agree" and "Disagree".

  • If "Agree" has the majority of votes, this market resolves YES.

Since I think this might end up having a hard time resolving (either due to disagreement, or it just doesn't materialize for one reason or another) in ways not covered by this market, I created the below market:

/HenriThunberg/will-there-be-consensus-on-who-dwar

For me personally, if the guest is Obama, Trump, Kamala, TSwift, or GPT-5, it's a clear "Agree", and for just about ~all the other listed options it's an easy "Disagree" (e.g. Musk is not "by far bigger" than Zuck, they're in the same tier by just about any "bigness" metric).

Of course, this will resolve based on a poll, & Manifold users can & will feel free to disagree.

This counts as "far bigger" to me

I suggest resolving to poll percentage instead of binary YES / NO with a 50% cutoff, primarily because I personally find discontinuous functions unaesthetic.

that sounds like a different market, one you are welcome to make! i obviously can't/won't change this one after people have bet on it (& personally much prefer binary predictions over percentage resolutions for something like this).

Very fair! Yes, you should make markets the way you like, not the way I like.
