This question will resolve YES if there is no known and publicly available technology that results in sleep not being needed at the end of 2039.
Otherwise, it will resolve NO. If mind uploading or something akin to it exists by then, then if the technology does not require some downtime it will also resolve to NO.
This market’s prob. is insane, but it’s only accurate to within… (checks notes) … 80% of the true value, assuming a discount rate of 5% over 16 years. So, I’d estimate the true probability would lie between 0% and 100%.

If someone wants to buy NO around 85% prices I can provide liquidity. just not placing limit orders in advance bc I'm low balance and I need to sell some positions before the limit orders do anything
How will this resolve in the case of something sleep-like such as meditation entirely replacing sleep
Sleep is so cringe, save me science. I'll get a brain implant, I'll let you edit my genes, I'll do whatever you say
I know a guy who claims meditation allows him to sleep only an hour or two per night, for the last few years. Mid thirties I think, hippy type, god at melee.
@Tumbles that stuff spooks me, I don't understand this mystical power. does he not have psychosis? does he implicitly replace his sleep with hours of restorative mindlessness? I am confused. the average person trying to sleep 1-2 hours per night probably goes insane after days or weeks right? i don't have a great sense of this
@JonathanRay your limit orders were cancelled btw. happy to take more of them if you wanna put them back up, up to you tho
There is a lot of free mana right here. It's going to resolve NO if we're still alive by then, and it's at 90%. It'll also only be going down over time.
(Oops, never mind, misread something about resolution criteria.)
This is super obvious
it would be an overstatement to say that humanity will somehow invent a technology that will contradict our normal living standards.
@Zesharwama question is when, i kind of doubt it will go that fast. Science barely even understands how our brains work at this point. Even why we sleep is not fully understood in itself, lol.
