I think people in real life are actually doing this kind of thing, but they don’t drive in real traffic; instead they go to an empty place, and try e.g. driving between huge empty paper boxes (so that in case of crash nothing serious happens). And I think they don’t do it really to learn driving well while drunk, but rather to calibrate themselves about how exactly different levels of being drunk impact their performance.
So, what would be the analogy of the empty paper boxes for LW?
LW is the empty place with the empty boxes are the threads with politics in them.
Though driving isn’t the best metaphor. LW is the moot court. Or boxing ring. Or dance floor. Takes two to tango.
We could segregate these things for those who don’t feel their up to having a political discussion. Tag a thread with Politics. Don’t want to talk politics, don’t go into the thread.
