Betting on the Future

By the people who run the Long Now Foundation, and used by the likes of Warren Buffett. I like the Rules. Some favorite bets–

  • Within 25 years the CDC will reverse their recommendation for human usage of at least one of the ten best selling vaccines of the present (Prevnar 13, PENTAct-HIB, Gardasil, GSK’s HepA/B, Celtura, Varivax, RotaTeq, Synflorix, Zostavax, Menactra) due to adverse side effects.
  • I predict that by 2030, China will lay an ownership claim to the entire moon.
  • Large Hadron Collider will destroy Earth.

That last bet is only for $1000. Worth it.
