This is just saying that threads like these are dangerous.
Not quite, you explicitly called for a moderator to “overview this” implying that hoi polloi readers are not competent enough to decide for themselves.
And, of course, life is dangerous. The internet, in particular, is very very dangerous. It gives people ideas. Dangerous ideas...
“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
I meant a moderator in the context of moderated discussion, approved etc. Financial markets have a large skill requirement and a easy way to destroy yourself.
Alright what about a bet of 500-1.5k comparing risks that I have personally taken that inform my decisions say versus yours signed via openpgp key and how that informs our views. Done via escrow. I’ve seen people lose in a variety of contexts. People who have not taken risks make lame jokes like yours. People are providing stupid investment advice saying things that “sound good”. Otherwise the blog Bayesian Investor should be sufficient.
Me vs you, character assessment, lifelong risks financial & personal, equity & survival rate vs adversarial conflict ie violence and other difficult situations you have encountered. With decent verification.
Any trustworthy third party agreed by the both of us, information kept secret between us three. Assign your priors and get going.
I know nothing about you and the argument is all about me. How about this—a bet on whether I can demonstrate being significantly above the average (population or LW, doesn’t matter) by the criteria you listed a couple of posts up plus “lifelong risks financial & personal, equity & survival rate vs adversarial conflict ie violence and other difficult situations you have encountered”. Some things might be difficult to verify but we can let the arbiter decide whether s/he trust them or not.

More advanced mistakes.
So who bets what and how will the bet be decided?

This doesn’t even make sense. I made some simple claim now I have to deal with forum neurotics. Forum posting is not a lifestyle.
It is not hard to see how stupid advice can be costly. Go away.
Y’know, there is a very simple solution to that.
LOL. You wish.
