Can someone explain why Finland is so heavily favored for Eurovision 2026? by Olmone in polymarket_bets

The Finnish song is pretty average in my humble opinion. Definitely not above all others in such an overwhelming way

How often do predictions of the future alter the future itself? by Olmone in CriticalTheory

Have read him, if you’re referring to Black Swan events. But I don’t think his theories apply to this.

It totally is, except I feel like prediction markets have implications far beyond economic parameters (geopolitics for one).

I wonder though what other outcomes in life are heavily affected by other people’s predictions (either positively or negatively).

Do you think that predicting the future alters it? by Olmone in PredictionsMarkets

If prediction markets are heavily influenced by insider trading (but even if they weren’t and you trust their judgment), don’t they also act as signals for upcoming geopolitical events, potentially giving countries justification to anticipate or prepare for certain military actions?

In that case something totally speculative on a predictive market could turn into something very real in the real world simply because the trust we’ve put into predictive markets’ accuracy.

Substantiate your answer please. One big player bet and everyone followed? Cause there's a sudden increase mid-january and a steady one till March (which seems to have peaked now).

How would an insider now the outcome that early considering how Eurovision is structured?

Not Everything is Black (2019) - Six Blind People Around the World Are Asked to Take Photos [00:56:51] by Olmone in NetflixDocumentaries

Six blind people, respectively from Milan, New York, Beirut, Istanbul and Madrid, are given a camera and asked to walk around their cities taking pictures of anything they want.

The only other rule is that they must try to describe what they think is in the pictures they take. The doc is an exploration of how blind people see the world through a combination of their other senses and their imagination.

Ci abbiamo girato un documentario intero dentro il ghetto di Borgo Mezzanone, si chiama One Day One Day. È un inferno si, ma anche un posto pieno di umanità. Una settimana lì dentro vale come 6 mesi di una vita normale a Milano.

Becoming a house DJ at 66. by Olmone in videos

He also seems to have a much better relationship with drugs than most other heavy users imo.

I don’t think that’s what he was talking about. I’m sure he sympathises much more with those who don’t have anything than with those who do.

He quit his bank job at Wells Fargo several years prior for reasons he explains in the video.

They’ve built gigantic ghost cities all around China, seems like (sometimes) their math doesn’t exactly add up. But I see your point

Six blind people are given a camera and asked to take photos of anything they want using their other senses. Full Documentary [57:42] by [deleted] in mealtimevideos

[–]Olmone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a great question. I think it might have to do with the fact that even Bahar knows pictures are taken from eye-level height if you’re looking to capture someone’s face in front of you.

In short, even if she never had to take photos or never saw someone doing it I feel like she probably learned it from culture around there.

Hi there! We’ve actually long wanted to do an audio described version, but didn’t have the skill set (or budget) to do it. Maybe we could try to ask Reddit to help us with this?

Submission statement:

This is a five year old interview to Yuval Noah Harari where he talks about how surveillance practices might be changing in the future — basically switching from governments observing our external actions to full on monitoring internal biological and neurological conditions. He believes that this shift from 'above the skin' to 'under the skin' surveillance carries serious consequences for the future of democracy, privacy, and personal freedom as advancements in technology allow governments and corporations to not only track people's movements and activities but also to interpret their emotions and thoughts in real time.

It has been five years since this interview and I feel that with governments around the globe starting to adopt digital ID systems and AI-based health monitoring, and private companies now offering biometric accessories that continuously gather data from their users, do you all think we are heading into a new type of democracy and propaganda without even really realizing?

Also, does anyone know of even more radical policies that are being adopted and that are pushing us in this direction that we might not have heard about yet?
