Lex Fridman is hosting another topical Israel v. Palestine debate on his podcast. This time, the sides are:
Palestine: Norm Finkelstein, Mouin Rabbani
Israel: Benny Morris, Steven Bonnell (Destiny)
The debate is being recorded in the next few days and should be published shortly after. This is a market for prop bets on what will happen during the debate.
This market will resolve to the debate itself, not including content of Lex's introduction before the show.
Add your own answers, but please be as clear and objective as possible. I'll likely n/a vibes-based responses or ask for clarity to make them more concrete where possible. Since response costs (now M50 per) have gone up, please feel free to comment below if you want me to add the option for you.
For swift resolution, add proof or timestamps in your comment.
eta: please reply as a comment on the option you want resolved to make resolution clearer.
Response notes:
If a response word or phrase is in quotations, that exact word or phrase must be used
A mention doesn't require a segment or discussion - if a word/topic/concept is uttered at some point, it will resolve Yes
Talk about means there is a notable discussion about the topic. For some this may be interpreted subjectively but at a baseline, talking about a topic means it's not mentioned in passing or glossed over and there's some meaningful exchange of information about the topic.
If an option is added for a place, I will accept either the place or a city within. For example, if an option says "someone mentions Ukraine" but only Kyiv enters the conversation, this resolves Yes.

I'll extend the close date as necessary but I assume the debate will be up by mid-March at the latest. If for any reason the debate is canceled, the market will N/A.
eta: if for any reason Morris or Rabbani are not involved in this debate, this market is still valid.

3.00@RanaG I like/prefer longform podcasts, I was looking forward to listening to this, and I wouldn't punish myself by creating (or betting on) prop bets on something I would hate listening to - that would be self sacrificial lol
@RanaG my secret is having a fucked up sense of priorities and everything else pretty much falls into place from there
@shankypanky just finished it - it was actually very engaging. I did not expect I would pay attention to all of it. Loved Norm's reactions 😂
@shankypanky yeah I would bet it will get posted in a few days. (should make a market about whether it will 🤔 🤔 ) In the meanwhile I do recommend skimming through the sub, the debate spawned some banger memes
@shankypanky ...it seems like no one did make a graph out of these. I have been browsing the sub pretty pretty comprehensively and there hasn't been anything on this front
