Hi Robin, 

Your name is being taken in vain (but in a good way; people aren't yet going around exclaiming Robin-dammit or anything.)

That whole notion of ideas futures which you drove a long time ago is really big stuff in political elections, like the one which was kicked off yesterday in Iowa.  I watched those share prices do what they do in elections.  A prominent real-money version is PredictIt.

https://www.predictit.org/

The PredictIt people realized that the most this whole notion is ever used is around politics.  

Most entertaining thing I have seen in a long Hanson-damn time.
