People will bet money on things they'd never say at dinner. That's basically prediction markets in one sentence. @paulg wrote about how every era has truths that are socially expensive to voice. The cost isn't that you're wrong. The cost is that you'll be judged. Markets don't have that problem. Polymarket called the US election while the mainstream media was saying the opposite. The gap between what people say and what people put money on is one of the most valuable signals in the world. What truth do you think the market is pricing right now that the establishment does not want to say out loud?
