What makes people comment like crazy on Midas Oracle? –> ANSWER –> Suspense, Suspense –> John Maynard Keynes

As noticed by our good Doctor Professor Michael Giberson (of Knowledge Problem fame):

1. The appropriateness of the “prediction market” label to an information aggregation mechanism — 39 comments
2. The best way to rank the best ideas coming from the rank — 11 comments and going

And both discussions feature the “Keynesian beauty contest“ argument. The argument is frown by some prediction market people at some other prediction market people, who take it as a grave insult. So, if you like Keynes, and if you like real action, come in and join the fray. We are having fun.
