Establish a predictioning firm that accurate, that you will be able to cash in all over the Wall street, London City, Frankfurt and so on.
All you need is a great prediction.
I consider this idea as old and obvious, but worth to accomplish. And not entirely impossible.
Ah. Thank you for supporting my point (in the intro, which I just re-wrote) that we don't have good ways to prove that impossible things are impossible. I doubt you meant to do this, but if you think about it, I think you'll see that you did. (:
So, with the assumption in mind that impossibility is subjective and unproven, what monetary goal do you predict most people would FEEL a sense of "impossibility" about? Or, if you'd rather, what goal would YOU feel a sense of impossibility about?
That's what we need in order to make the idea above into an impossible one. (:
Any suggestions on my new introduction?
