* Silicon valley gave us DraftKings, Polymarket, and crypto.
* Modern business planning and venture capital firms make "bets" based on the expected value of investments, i.e. probability of success.

Journalism, papers of record and professional opinion havers can't be replaced soon enough.
DraftKings was founded in Boston and funded by Boston and other East Coast VCs.
Polymarket was founded in New York with funding from all over the world.

Venture capital and modern business planning weren't invented in Silicon Valley, either.
Statistical models have been around for hundreds of years.
This is "not even wrong" territory.
