I'm amazed by how accurately these prediction markets actually can be—way more accurate than polls. It's crazy because Joe Rogan just brought up this very same topic on his last couple of podcasts. He said there was a multi-generational study in California that concluded in the last few decades we've gone from a 1-in-10,000 autism diagnoses to 1-in-12 people today. One in every twelve people now are considered to be on the autism spectrum. Although alarming, he and some of his guests wondered if autism could actually be a superpower, giving people the ability to stay hyper-focused on things that interest them. This, combined with so many human infertility issues, as well as changes to our physical form lead them to believe that merging with AI/Robots might be our next destined evolutionary step. It could be written into our DNA already and we're just making it happen through our own technological innovation. That's super weird to think about very unsettling but they made a convincing argument for it.
