Submission for the counterfactual Oracle. Commit to commissioning some creative work, such as a book or screenplay, designed to raise public support for dramatic life extension research. Ask the Oracle to predict the content of the finished product (counterfactually if we didn’t see the Oracle’s answer).
Rewards could be determined a couple of ways. You could perform public polling about this topic before and after the book is published or movie made, and reward the Oracle based on how much public opinion shifted. Or the reward could be a direct function of book sales or box office receipts.
This could help alleviate bottlenecks in dramatic life extension research (or some other issue) by increasing funding or increasing the number of researchers to enter the field.
