FWIW, while I like the idea of this thread and think it’s good to not proactively discourage ideas, I will say if it turned out that this was the majority of the sorts of ideas that were coming out I’d probably regard the experiment as a failure, or at least lose interest.

Well, if Lesswrongers participated in this thread in good faith, I don’t expect such a result.
If I see such a result, I’ll update more towards Lesswrongers are trolls than Lesswrongers hold such beliefs.
The third option is ’the existence of such a thread attracts a new sort of person to Less Wrong’
In so much as that is the outcome, I think such a thread is a terrible idea.
