Because the Hugo award has gone really well.
You only fight over things that are valuable.
Like being an alpha and curb-stomping the betas?
The fight here is against other alphas and the prize is high status women. The curb-stomping is a signal.
Yes, but the question is whether GiveWell should set up an arena for such games :-P
Yes, if it can sell tickets.
I suspect naked midget mud wrestling can sell more tickets :-)
Or you can set up fights between alphas where the prize is high-status men…
This just might harm GiveWell’s brand name.
Not so (or poorly defined); if you want to hurt someone, you can fight over things that would have been valuable to them if you hadn’t fought.
