By the way, has anyone else made a link between this community's unhealthy obsession with karma and prediction markets?

This sentence made me think of something completely different - both illustrate the attraction of pure meta means of truth-seeking, of being able to outperform messy object-level reasoning without having to do any of it - the "algorithmism" that Mencius Moldbug accuses Bayesianism of. Not that karma and prediction markets aren't good ideas, of course.
