sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

So let me get this straight, we finally get an American pope, and some of the America first crowd is mad because he cares about the poor and immigrants. Am i missing something here?
In the bet post, Bryan says this: "Matthew will prepay the $500 in January 2023; the preceding terms have been pre-adjusted to compensate Matthew for expected inflation. " So according to this, the bet does adjust for inflation, so I'm not sure why Bryan says here that it isn't . And it is Matthew who is getting the payoff at the end.
He's pretty clearly saying they factored in inflation when making the odds of the initial bet that way they don't have to do some sort of weird 'true-up' based on CPI at the end or something.
