“If a society cannot find a way to deal with something that is actively melting it from within, then that is a terminal symptom.” — Finn Brunton A couple of days ago, Donald Trump Jr.'s investment firm, 1789 Capital, led a billion-dollar funding round in Polymarket. As today's guest, the fintech expert Finn Brunton, notes in an insightful Harper's essay this month, prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi are transforming America into an always-on gambling den. No wonder, then, that the Trumps are such gleeful participants in what Brunton calls “the casinoification of modern life.” From the father's Taj Mahal in Atlantic City to the son's Taj on everyone's phone. “Trade on Anything” as Kalshi promises (or threatens) us. In “The Chaos Machine,” Brunton introduces us to two visionaries of prediction marketplaces. On the one hand, there's the idealistic Robin Hanson, who dreamed of prediction markets as machines for truth with experts betting real money and generating trustworthy odds about the future. And then there's Tim May, a self-described crypto-anarchist, the “bad guy,” according to Brunton, who invented the idea of BlackNet as an anonymous marketplace designed to destroy institutional trust from within. Brunton warns that today's prediction marketplaces have bet on May, rather than Hanson. They are insider-trading machines where the smart money is always on the other side of the table. It's no wonder that Donald Trump Jr.'s investment firm is called 1789 Capital. By investing in prediction marketplaces, they are accelerating an anarchic French rather than institutionally trustworthy American-style revolution. These BlackNet operations are both the cause and effect of today's destruction of trust. Polymarket is the polycrisis. It is cashing in on chaos. Five Takeaways •       From Papal Bets to Polymarket. Prediction markets are centuries old — people have wagered on wars, weather, elections, and popes — but the modern idea belongs to the economist Robin Hanson, the hedgehog (per Isaiah Berlin) with one big idea: turn expert opinion into a market. Since experts are famously bad at prediction (Philip Tetlock's research), make them bet: specify the outcome precisely, let the odds be anonymous, and people must wager what they really believe rather than what fits in or stands out. Hanson's markets were meant for specialists — internal corporate markets synthesizing insider knowledge into actionable odds — not Surowiecki's cow-weighing crowds. However disputed, Brunton insists, it was “a fundamentally positive idea”: a machine for honest consensus about the future.•       The Casinoification of Modern Life. Polymarket founder Shayne Coplan credits Hanson outright — then flips him. The modern slogan: “monetize any difference in opinion.” The sportsbook has been absorbed and joined by elections, crude prices, and missile strikes — anything anyone will bet on. The tragedy, per Brunton: an idea about synthesizing expertise became “the spread of gambling into every aspect of contemporary living.” And the experts who do bet are now effectively insider traders — a possibility Hanson, contrarian to the last, actually welcomes, but which has made the platforms “rip-off machines in which people who know what's going to happen… exploit suckers.” The data is unambiguous: a handful of whales win; everyone else loses. The platforms' defense — we just give people what they want — is, Brunton notes, the classic play of buying time against regulation, perfected by YouTube a generation ago. Meanwhile New York's subway ads sell the flattering fantasy that you're not gambling; you're deploying your sophisticated read of the news. No wonder the Trumps are gleeful participants — from the father's Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, as Andrew puts it, to the son's Taj on everyone's phone.•       Tim May's BlackNet. The essay's second character is the late Tim May: cypherpunk pioneer, gleeful provocateur, “idealist of the dark web” in Andrew's phrase — and, Brunton says flatly, “a bad guy” whose politics were racist and violent. May's gift was seeing the worst use of every technology, and his masterwork was BlackNet: an anonymous marketplace for secrets — exams, health records, trade secrets, classified plans — whose deeper purpose was to destroy institutional trust from within. Create a world where no one inside any institution knows whom to trust (a Leninist move, Andrew observed), and the institutions dissolve. Brunton's thesis in one line: prediction markets present themselves as the fulfillment of Hanson's vision, but they are really the fulfillment of May's. The evidence is already tabloid fact: the operator of Trump's teleprompter betting on the words of future speeches; a US soldier arrested in April for wagering on operations he knew were coming.•       Polymarket & the Polycrisis. These platforms are worse than casinos: at least the Nevada State Gaming Commission checks that the roulette wheel isn't rigged, while prediction markets are “so thoroughly crooked and corrupt in their current setup” that Brunton — who still cherishes Hanson's original promise — doesn't know where regulation would begin. Andrew's coinage-pairing landed: Polymarket and Adam Tooze's polycrisis are siblings — nested, interlinked crises producing unmanageable volatility, with betting as a way of “interacting with a future that otherwise feels completely out of your control.” Hence Brunton's students on Polymarket: not just addictive app design but “a weirdly rational decision” for a generation with no faith in pensions, home ownership, or the long-term dollar. Lambos or food stamps. The house rule stands: the smart money is always on the other side of the table — and the winners-take-all arithmetic mirrors the broader digital economy.•       Betting on Hanson Over May. Prediction markets, Brunton argues, are the heirs of crypto twice over: the next stop for fevered capital, and — like the Trump family's World Liberty Financial, which horrifies even the Cato Institute — a mechanism for relatively untraceable corruption, a natural extension of the family casino business. Andrew's twist on the firm's name: 1789 Capital is accelerating an anarchic French rather than institutionally trustworthy American-style revolution. His warning is the episode's pull quote: platforms designed to dissolve institutional trust, monetize interference with journalism, and sow paranoia are a solvent, and a society that cannot deal with what is melting it from within shows “a terminal symptom.” But he ends with a fix, and it is refreshingly concrete: KYC. Impose the know-your-customer identity rules we demand of banks, and “you immediately eliminate 95% of the bad actors” — official insider bets become visible, and the markets might even get smarter. A partisan of anonymous speech, Brunton draws the line at anonymous betting on information. Andrew's closer: he's still betting on Hanson over May — Kant over Hobbes. And his verdict: Polymarket is the polycrisis. It is cashing in on chaos. About the Guest Finn Brunton is Professor of Science and Technology Studies and of Cinema and Digital Media at the University of C...

Tim May and Pat Murphy on a Friday night. OSU fan Lebron heads to Philly. Dillon Davis of the Delaware Gazette joins the show to talk all things OSU. ESPN plays video games. SEC coaches are saying silly things.

We're joined by Paul Dylan-Ennis and Wassim Alsindi, two of crypto's sharpest in-house critics, who arrived at the same place from opposite directions.Paul is a lecturer at University College Dublin, author of Absolute Essentials of Ethereum, an early speculative realist (co-founder of Speculations), and a member of the Silviculture Society, the informal cypherpunk body that keeps check on the Ethereum Foundation.Wassim is a chemical physicist turned record-label operator turned MIT Media Lab researcher, founder of 0x Salon in Berlin, and a self-described "deradicalized Bitcoin maximalist." Hell yeah.We start with Wassim's essay 'Open Swords,' which insists that open source has to die. The utopian horizon of the cypherpunks (Tim May's Crypto Anarchist Manifesto, Eric Hughes' clarion call, Barlow's Declaration) has been repurposed into systems of closure, with Palantir, Anduril, Helsing, and the corporate AI monoliths built on the backs (and skulls) of open source development.We go hard on the idea of the cypherbunk in general, into computational counter-politics, Nick Land's Crypto-Current, and Wassim's critical concept of necro-primitivism (Bitcoin as an indifference engine that cannot care about anything outside its thermoeconomic event horizon, now awaiting its quantum-computing civil war.)References:Wassim Alsindi, "Open Swords" (Akisoma)Timothy C. May, "The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto" (1988)Eric Hughes, "A Cypherpunk's Manifesto" (1993)John Perry Barlow, "A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace" (1996)Wassim Alsindi, "The Necroprimitivist Manifesto" (2021) & the Indifference Engine projectNick Land, Crypto-Current: Bitcoin and Philosophy (Šum edition)Anna Greenspan, Capitalism's Transcendental Time Machine (2000)Paul Dylan-Ennis, Absolute Essentials of Ethereum (Routledge, 2024)Paul Dylan-Ennis, Continental Realism (Zero Books, 2011)Hannu Rajaniemi, The Quantum Thief (2010)

Is it possible that their model actually turns sour? 2.My Response: “I think that's been their strategy. Play for today and worry about tomorrow some other day. Remember, they also have a bunch of deferred money kicking in with Ohtani, etc. one thought is as they deal with the bad contracts, they promote all their young kids as cheap alternatives as the Mookies of the world become backup players. So cheap everyday players and expensive backups. Besides Betts and Smith, freeman, Tucker, Teoscar all are done in three more years. The strategy might work. I will say that Smith's contract looks the worse but he's also the most reasonable. They might have to buy him out. Mookie should be ok for next 2 years and then, his will really look ugly”3.Tatsuya Imai was involved in a no-hitter this week.

Take 10 with Tim – May 15, 2026 @ 9:15 – 45 minutes to an hour.1.God help us, but Zebby Matthews looked great yesterday. It was the Marlins, but a line of 7.0 IP, 4 hits, 0 ER, 5K/1BB is pretty awesome. a.What are you doing about him?b.I've held onto him in a couple of Dynasty Leagues, but I think this is a sucker setup.2.The kids are getting called nearly every day.a.On Tuesday, A.J. Ewing was promoted to “save the Mets' season”. Well, the Mets win their first series against the Tigers, and Ewing is 3 for 6, with a home run, a stolen base, 4 walks, and 3 strikeouts.i.I actually have him in all 10 Dynasty Leagues (I think) and started him where I could. What's your take?b.Henry Bolte also gets the call and looks to get plenty of playing time for the Athletics.i.What's your take?c.Order the following for the rest of the season - Waldschmidt, Ewing, Eldridge, and Henry Bolt3.Zach Cole has been on fire since you recommended him on Sunday. Well done! Thoughts for the rest of the season.4.Cal Raleigh hit the IL, a day after breaking a 0-36 hitless streak. Fantasy managers can't be happy with his season – he has seven home runs, but it's come at a cost of a .161 BA and a brutal .243 OBP. Now, he hits the IL with an oblique issue.a.Let's dig into his season to see if we can figure out what's going on.5.Robby Snelling – just brutal. He started one game, looked ok and now hits the IL with a left UCL sprain. That might explain this season's poor control. a.I think it's odd how many pitchers get the call and then seem to go out with an elbow issue. It almost makes you think they know there is a problem but don't speak up until they get on the MLB roster. Yeah, I know this is all conspiracy stuff, but it happens a lot.6.Max Fried hits the IL, and as of this writing, we don't know how long he'll be out. Gerrit Cole is getting close, more once he gets into shape instead of getting his arm stretched out. I heard a bit of grumbling this week in Somerset. Anyway, I don't think Elmer Rodriguez gets another start. Your thoughts?a.Speaking of the Yankees, Jose Caballero hits the IL, and Anthony Volpe is back. Will he be somebody who interests you this weekend?7.Ohtani seems to be having a better year as a pitcher than as a hitter. With the decision to rest him on pitching days and to assume a few more days off during the season, do you think this time off, coupled with being relegated to DH, will push him down in next year's draft?8.Jacob Wilson hits the IL with a shoulder issue, and it sounds like it will be more than 10 days. Darell Hernaiz gets a shot. Is he worth grabbing?9.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend?10.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend?

Take 10 with Tim – May 8, 20261.Well, the big news of the week was Tarik Skubal needing elbow surgery to remove loose bodies – in other words, bone chips. Provided that's all there is, the recovery is likely three months. Add two to three more weeks for rehab, and maybe he's back in September. Brutal blow for fantasy managers to lose their first-round pick.a.What's the plan if you have Skubal or your team?b.Is this a reminder of the risk of using a first-round pick on a pitcher, or well, everybody gets hurt?c.Pitching injuries throughout the ranks have been tough this season – Skubal, Crochett, and Brown. Arguably, three of the big four will or have already missed considerable time. i.Just a bad year or is the list of elbow and shoulder injuries getting worse?2.Carlos Rodon returns on Sunday against the Brewers. He was good, during his rehab/spring training, but are you ready to start him right away? 16.0 IP, 16K, 3.38 ERA3.You commented on Sunday that Emilo Pagan was one of the few closers who was secure. Well, not anymore, as he's got a hamstring pull and will miss 4 to 8 weeks.a.You've been doing the Closer Report for years. Have you ever seen anything like this?b.What's the strategy for picking up guys and not burning through most of your FAAB? Or, should you just do it?c.Who's the pickup here?4.I know Carlos Correa is not what he used to be, but he was owned as middle infielder in a lot of leagues and will miss the rest of the season. Brice Matthews has not posted a high batting average, but has speed and power. Does he now get full-time at-bats and if so, are you in? 36% rostered in Fantrax Leagues.5.Robby Snelling finally gets the call and starts tonight against the Nationals. I'm sure you're going to start him, but give me a realistic stat line for his first start?a.Do you think he's up for good?6.Sung-Mun Song got the call for the Padres. Is he worth a pickup?7.Play, Sit, or Drop?1)Steven Kwan (OF, Cle, 94%) – .211 BA, 1 HR, 2 SB2)Matt Chapman (3B, SF, 94%) - .234 BA, 1 HR, 0 SB3)Justin Crawford (OF, Phil, 69%) - .264 BA, 0 HR, 3 SB4)Ezequiel Tovar (SS, Col, 67%) - .186 BA, 1 HR, 2 SB5)Alec Bohm (3B, Phi, 62%) - .159 BA, 1 HR, 0 SB6)Colton Cowser (OF, Bal, 50%) - .179 BA, 0 HR, 0 SB – what happened to him?7)Cedric Mullins (OF, TB, 35%) - .139 BA, 2 HR, 6 SB – platoon player8.What hitter are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB9.What pitcher are you targeting for this weekend's FAAB?
