@Xbox_Nostalgia the platonic ideal of a movie tie in game. Getting some movie actors to voice characters (but not the lead); fuck-ass action and game mechanics; the shitty writing trying to copy the movie.
More seriously, no you obviously cannot. You can reduce the surface area of gambling, sure. But you cannot ban it. Speculation is as old as human history, and it will shift towards other, potentially more destructive areas. Remember speculation on NFTs? Ppl will blow their money on collectibles that lose all value, on gold TrumpCoins, on leveraged options trading on Robinhood, etc.
@burkov The most important thing is not the ground truth; it's creating a model that allows us to make the best predictions about the world. You think dark matter is a bad theory - great! go make a better model then. Otherwise, learn to live with it.
