Unfortunately, I do not have the chops to debate against this, but the political ramifications would be immense. The bet (https://www.rootclaim.com/rootclaim_challenge) requires that (a) you have $100k (b) are able to successfully debate it.

I won't put $100k against this, but I'll put $10k against it, because "the truth" is worth it. I'll pool $10k into a $100k stake behind a debate team that can debate this (and validate that this is actually refutable). This is valid until 2021-03-01.

Not gp, but to me it seems common and smart to put an expiration date on all financial offers.

That's the simplest explanation at least. This rootclaim.com process is new to me, there could certainly be other explanations.

Kudos to purplecats for making that offer as well, assuming this whole thing is on the up and up.

It’s to avoid wasting time, to create a sense of urgency, and to avoid putting myself in an awkward situation where I have to say no due to changed circumstances.

makes sense but what heuristic did you use to come up with that specific date/duration?
