P.S.: This is a Midas Oracle exclusivity. Overcoming His Prediction Market Bias does not have it. And Odd Research Scientist Head Who Has Plenty Of Regrets can only dream of it.

P.S.: I am not “bi-polar”. I am a fox:

• a thinker who knows many little things, draws from an eclectic array of traditions, and is better able to improvise in response to changing events;
• a self-critical, eclectic thinker who is willing to update his/her beliefs when faced with contrary evidence, who is doubtful of grand schemes and is rather modest about his/her predictive ability.

Political prediction markets should be a tool used by trusted political experts reporting on the horse races and other issues. It’s in that perspective that I’m going to mind the future of Midas Oracle.
