The Earth Optimization Prize
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: Website: https://manual.warondisease.org/knowledge/strategy/earth-optimization-prize.html Abstract: Humanity spends 604 (95% CI: 453-894)x more on wars than testing which medicines work. The Earth Optimization Prize pays whoever fixes that. Two target numbers: healthy life years and median income. Hit them by 2040 and the pool goes to the people who recruited voters for the 1% Treaty. Miss them and depositors split the pool pro rata (still beats a retirement account). The mechanism: deposit, recruit, and let compound interest do the rest. Summary: Reward humanity for raising healthy life years and median income within 15 years. PRIZE keeps depositors on the failure branch, VOTE rewards recruiters on the success branch, and Earth Optimization Protocol v1 is only the current instruction manual for trying to win.
