>It can look bad, but this is just an aspect of human behavior

Why "can look", "but", "just"?

I think GP is saying it's not the prediction market that's bad, but human nature itself. The prediction market just makes it more visible.

  • If we ignore that people are literally profiting from running the prediction market that happens to make it visible and giving incentive to uninvolved parties to have a STRONG OPINION about any type of event for the purpose of gambling, yeah, I guess that's a point.

Because it’s one of many events that violates our belief in our selves more than the nature of human society and man as a social animal based on studies of what we actually are.
