I will give a talk about prediction markets and futarchy. The talk is intended as a basic introduction for people who are new to the concept. After my slides, I hope to have a discussion about whether futarchy is feasible.
Cambridge/Boston-area Less Wrong meetups start at 3:30pm, and have an alternating location:
1st Sunday meetups are at Citadel in Porter Sq, at 98 Elm St, apt 1, Somerville.
3rd Sunday meetups are in MIT's building 66 at 25 Ames St, room 156. Room number subject to change based on availability; signs will be posted with the actual room number.
(We also have last Wednesday meetups at Citadel at 7pm.)
