Hm, interesting. I think there’s more α in investigating meditative performance, and thought it’d be not as bad through subjectivity because I randomize & blind. But I get why one would be skeptical of that.
I do test for a bunch of other stuff though, e.g. flashcard performance (more objective I think?), which was surprisingly unmoved in my past two experiments. But I don’t resolve the markets based on that. I very briefly considered putting up markets on every affected variable and every combination of substance, but then decided that nobody was going to forecast that.
