I think of this question as tracking the rise of interest in prediction markets among sci/tech celebrities. Podcaster Lex Fridman (2.7 million Twitter followers) joined Manifold and bet M$100 on himself, causing his shares to soar (they are now worth M$188). He still has not created a market.
Alex Amplifier: The smallest segment. Austin is home to a small group of non-conformist “new media” personalities. I can name a dozen off the top of my head: Joe Rogan, Tim Ferriss, Lex Fridman, Andrew Huberman, Byrne Hobart, Razib Khan, Peter Attia, Matt Bateman, Chris Williamson, Ryan Holiday, David Parell, Rob Henderson and the Kill Tony guys. At least 3-4 from that list have kids in one of the Alpha schools.
