Scott reflects on his hasty utopian science post, viewing it as a success for prompting Robin Hanson to expand on academic prediction markets.
Longer summary
Scott Alexander reflects on his previous post about utopian science, acknowledging it was somewhat rushed and not fully developed. However, he considers it successful because it prompted Robin Hanson to elaborate on his concepts regarding academic prediction markets. The post is very brief, mainly serving to link to and comment on these two articles.

My post on utopian science was a little bit hasty and poorly thought out, but it did motivate Robin Hanson to further explain some of his own ideas on academic prediction markets, so I’m counting it as a victory.
