@molly0xfff To put a doubling of the odds in perspective, one might note that multiplying 0 by 2 still gives you 0.

A friend once sent me a fake blackmail letter as a joke, so I sent a reply saying he could have all my Porsches and Mercedes if he would just please, please burn all the negatives. I mentioned it to some friends who knew both of us and some guy standing there said, "how many Porsches and Mercedes did you have?" I said "as many negatives as he had." Everyone else laughed.

Unexpected Values

Will Jesus Christ return in an election year?

Thanks to Jesse Richardson for discussion. Polymarket asks: will Jesus Christ return in 2025? In the three days since the market opened, traders have wagered over $100,000 on this question. The mar…

@molly0xfff Makes sense, a lot of these people who are into promoting crypto are also Zionist accelerationists trying to speed up their end times prophecy

@molly0xfff JC was a big fan of money changers, and dabbled in minting himself (loaves and fish).
