Infiltration, sabotage, mass demonstrations, elections, political violence, etc., work well for the purposes of destruction, but not of construction. That's why the enemies of civilization can advance their purposes through those means, but the builders of civilization cannot.
WHAT ARE THE MECHANISMS? How do people win or lose money? How can I bank on Jehovah's witnesses believing the End of The World is near, and how can they bank on my disbelieving them, depending on who's right?

That said, I want to be clear — NOT A PREDICTION MARKET. Therefore, it doesn’t really matter who’s right. What matters is this: which POV, given a playing field leveled by financial incentives (instead of skewed by biases), convinces more people over time. Being right helps.
