The Shilling Point in NYC is, as I have always understood it, indeed the clock (aka the information booth) at Grand Central. It’s a much, much better choice than the ESB, and also what I expect others to expect here. Epistemic Status is “This Is Known” and this extends to the degree that I will literally say “Meet at the Schilling Point” when I want to indicate that’s where we are meeting, which is not that uncommon as it often makes a lot of sense, and the majority of the time no one asks where I meant by that.
(Yes, Penn Station’s train times display and Times Square itself are in theory possible but can confirm that they’re both objectively terrible, and worse at the job we’re proposing.)
Agreed that in theory ESB is on the board but I would be pretty shocked if someone actually went there.
This not the first time you’ve spelled “Schelling Point” “Schilling point” and I’m curious if that’s some kind of on-purpose thing or just a misspelling you happen to do by accident a lot?
