Agreement karma indicates agreement, separate from overall quality.
Your general attitude seems to be taking the problem of coordination too lightly. Eliezer’s recent book has a lot of good thinking on what exactly makes bad equilibria so hard to escape from. Though I’d never discourage you from trying to solve a hard problem, it seems like you’re saying “We can fix coordination problems by just coordinating!”
I actually do like the call-a-week idea. I forsee a lot of problems with “call a random rationalist each week for an hour”, but they seem far more solvable than “fix coordination in general”.
