Personally, I find the market on the Eurovision Song Contest fascinating. The leading indicators suck, and the bookmakers pricing up the market have no other option but to follow the prediction market, which astonishingly is pretty accurate IMO. I KNOW, there are folks out there who do their homework. And they do it thoroughly.

Should you want to try a different approach, let me offer a suggestion. To get you started :

I haven’t read it myself (I really should), but nevertheless some quotes to warm you up :

“Facilitated Learning and Creative Synchronicity. Sheldrake has conducted a number of experiments, which seem to indicate that morphic resonance and field effects may facilitate faster and easier learning by individuals and groups who attempt to learn a skill or behavior after an individual or group in the same species initially does so. “
That’s another reason why we can’t have insiders spoiling our markets. For those who are interested in the truth, that is. (PMSL)

This is an interesting line, regarding the working definition of “collective consciousness” :

“A mode of awareness, in which we directly experience, through an intuitive felt-sense, our union with the interconnected wholeness of life, and recognize ourselves in others. Our identity extends beyond our individual boundary and embraces the collective, through a free and conscious act of identification, rather than through definition by convention or external authority.

Once this awareness develops, individuals – because they now perceive themselves as mutually interdependent parts of a larger whole — develop an authentic, abiding and primary concern and care for common good and for the well being, health and productive functioning of the communities to which they belong (including organizations and, eventually, the global community).”
Well, it is Sunday.

But I my faith in prediction markets has been vindicated.  Again.
