gollark: So say "greater than X"?
gollark: I mean that it gives you a better reason to come up with more accurate information and not just wildly say whatever, because you have some (small) financial reason.
gollark: I don't see an issue with betting. It gives you incentives to make better predictions.
gollark: Having some specific mental thing preventing you from wearing a mask is probably very rare compared to, say, just having... severe asthma?
gollark: I think you missed the context.
