Kalshi and Polymarket are turning everything from elections to celebrity weddings into tradable events — and major media outlets are effectively normalizing it.
Journalism on a broad scale is mostly advocacy. They are the cheerleaders trying to push their team to victory. It is literally the tail wagging the dog.
It is the worst in the major outlets. We have a bunch of rich people's kids that are trying to bring about changes that they really don't understand to a country that they don't understand. They think that their big city environment is "real" and the rest of the country is filled with rubes who sit around with grass stems in their mouth drinking beer and ironing their klan hoods.
Using the prediction markets makes it where they don't even have to actually do any research. They can just scan through the different topics and find one that fits their narrative while they are waiting for the barista to finish their drink. Fill it out with some carefully selected social media posts and call it a day. Call a few buddies to have them throw a few bones to them for the next story.
Most of the "intelligence community" leadership are their brethren. They went to the same schools, were members of the same fraternities, and shared a similar upbringing. They can fill out their reports with data gleaned from a prediction market rather than having to actually slog through intelligence reports and talk to people. Then just pass on their narrative to their friends in the media to back up their reports.
The whole system is skewed to keep them entrenched. You have to go to the "right" schools to be considered. You have to be able to afford to go live in NYC or DC to serve out unpaid internships on their parent's money. You have to be connected politically to get your resume on someone's desk. You have to be deemed as someone who will play along with the grift.
We SO need to build all new systems without the antihuman globalist parasites. As if the unregulated quadrillion $ derivatives market wasn’t enough to satisfy the pedophilionaires. This is functioning like a black hole invented by craven gambling addicts to implode all productive creation. Wtsf.
I would have to dig around Substack and you have probably already seen this, but someone wrote recently that information is no longer the product: we are. I thank them here for pointing this out, and will reply here if I stumble on them in the course of my days' reading.
We have just jumped (or been thrown) into the betting pool at the end that is so deep nobody can see the bottom. Our own writing becomes bits and bytes in a Graphic Processing Unit in Utah, our thoughts and feelings and communication and style swallowed hedgehog-whole into the maw of King Data's python maw, to be digested unfeelingly and completely free of moral judgement, and to nourish the vitals of the owners of the new system.
Artificial Intelligence is no more our enemy than a machine gun laying on the kitchen table--it is the intent of the person who picks it up which makes it either a weapon of defence of their community or the weapon of destruction aimed at some other evil purpose.
Our own statistics and readership rely now on how The Algorithm is consciously and purposely set, not on the value of the writing or the thought or ideals behind it. For Substack to be a logo on The Big Wheel in a social casino makes me sick.
One more thought of Kelvin-cold ice water for us: The Machines can now be set to comb through our thoughts, when written anywhere, like baleen filtering massive amounts of krill to feed them. They can filter for compliance, and they can be filtered for dissent. This set of remarks my already have flagged me for inquiry, used to move the social discussions in a different direction, or pitted one giant data company against another (think Truth Social VERSUS Blue Sky, for example) to see who gets the most money, or who gets to 'prove' their position is more correct than another when laid in front of the members in the Briefing Room.
Anyone want to bet I'm right? Or wrong? How will we know?
I've been out of the loop on this development. So, in other words, grand-scale betting on future outcomes, that is further legitimized and perpetuated by media, becomes self-fulfilling prophecy?

That pretty much sums it up!
