The way I do the equivalent of what you are doing is write up something in various stages of “less than fully baked” and send to someone I know is interested/I respect in private, and have a chat about it. What’s nice about that is it exploits the threat of embarrassment of outputting nonsense to force me to at least “bake” it sufficiently to have a meaningful conversation about it. It’s very easy to output nonsense.
But I am skeptical regarding the wiki model of generating good novel stuff—there’s too much noise.
Manfred, I think your posts on Sleeping Beauty, etc. are fine, people just may not be able to follow you or have anything to contribute.
Thanks. So would you recommend that for the new stuff I use those sorts of 3/4-baked stream of consciousness posts?
