This post was popular, but the idea never got picked up. Let's have an experimental open thread this month!
The rules:
Top level comments would be claims. Second level comments would be discouraged from directly saying that someone is wrong and instead encouraged to ask them questions instead to get them to think
Let top level comments be debatable claims, first tier responses be questions, second tier answers, responses, answers, etc. Try to go as deep as possible, I'd expect an actual update to be increasingly likely to happen as you continue the conversation.
I'll have to go back and reread the first paragraph, and notice the second paragraph - "Hey guys, I just looked at this - I'm curious what LW's takeaways - and why", which is the only thing I see now that I've ever seen before, except in the last paragraph. Do you have a good explanation for the "other posts are terrible, I'll just go and read the second one" paragraph? Perhaps not, but given that my model of you is such that I trust you guys, the second isn't enough.
Please try to read your post in full, and provide concrete examples and solutions. Thanks for your time, and I glad you wrote each one.
(Also, I just realized that, but there are more than four of us. I don't have the space to do much else there, but I could use a few people if you're interested in doing it.)
