Anyone who’s reading this, do you think what’s wanted at LW is very different from what’s wanted in other venues?
Yes. I get the sense that here you are expected to at least try for rigor.
In other venues—it’s totally ok to randomly riff on a topic without actually having thought deeply about either the consequences, or whether or not there’s any probability of your idea actually having any basis in reality.
