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.
If I want to say something about my own subjective experience, I could write that paragraph from a story I've been told, and say "Hey, I don't have to believe any more", and then leave it at that.
I'm not a fan of the first one. That is, my subjective experience (as opposed to the story I was told by) does not have any relevance to my real experience of that scene, so I can't say for certain which one in particular seems to be the right one.
I also have a very important factual issue with having a similar scene (to an outsider) in which a different person can't help but help, which I do find confusing; and in that case, if my real feelings about the scene are somewhat similar to the feelings about the scene, the scene will make it seem very awkward.
So if someone can help me with this stuff, I can't ask to be arrested for letting anyone out on the street, for providing any evidence that they're "trying to pretend".
(I'm also assuming that the scene has to be generated by some kind of randomly-generated random generator or some technique which doesn't produce anything in the original text.)
