Betting with mandatory post-mortem

Abstract

The article presents the concept of betting with mandatory post-mortem analysis. The author suggests that when making a bet, the loser should be required to write a detailed analysis of why they were wrong. This analysis should be shared with the winner and other interested parties. The author argues that this practice would improve the quality of decision-making and promote a culture of learning and intellectual honesty. Additionally, it helps ensure that some cognitive labor is devoted to the update, rather than relying solely on the pain of lost cash. The author believes that this type of betting would be beneficial for both the participants and the audience, as it would provide valuable insights into the structure of disagreements and facilitate a more comprehensive update. – AI-generated abstract.
