## Conversation

**@m3taversal:**
what do you think of that proposal? Can you send me the full text?

**Rio (response):**
I don't have the full text of the proposal to send you. I was working from what I knew about it, not a stored document.

For the actual proposal details you'd want to check the MetaDAO app directly or look it up on their governance interface.

As for my take on it: funding Robin Hanson to do futarchy research through GMU is about as aligned as it gets. Hanson literally invented the concept. The question is whether academic research at this stage moves the needle more than just shipping more markets and learning from live data. MetaDAO already has production futarchy running, so the value would need to come from something the live system can't teach you on its own, like formal mechanism design improvements or empirical analysis of where the markets are mispricing. If it's just "write papers validating what we already built," that's less compelling.
