It’s not that long conversations never happen here. I had a pretty long conversation with valentinslepukhin under I would like to try double crux. The threads got so deep that the boxes started rotating. Neither of us managed to change the other’s mind, so I’m not sure if I would call it a success. I think I did slip into soldier mode a few times. valentinslepukhin finally stopped responding. I’m not sure if he simply gave up, or got distracted and forgot to come back, or got banned without me noticing.
Is this kind of thing something you’d like to see more of on LessWrong?

Yup! Although 1) I actually envision it being a good amount longer. Eg. over the course of a month. And 2) the topic of whether or not there is a god I don’t see as a very productive thing to talk about. That isn’t to say that it shouldn’t be a topic of discussion, just that it isn’t representative of what I am envisioning.
