# Summary of hypotheses

Ideamarket is an experiment to test these hypotheses:

1. **Truth exists.**
2. **Truth has value.**
3. **Truth is uncertain.**
4. **Everyone needs to trust someone.**
5. **Trust is a scarce natural resource.**
6. **Markets allocate scarce natural resources between parties with conflicting interests.**
7. **"Rationality is risk management." (Taleb)**
8. **People cannot be persuaded against their will.**
9. **A profit motive makes people more willing to be persuaded.** 
10. **Truth is universally good, and unites people.**
11. **If Ideamarket replaces corporate media as the arbiter of credibility, the problems it creates will be preferable to the problems we face today.**
