Yeah, I usually try these posted meetups two or three times before I do the writeup. The Experimental tag exists for when I haven’t gotten around to doing that yet.
Not having anything unusually direct or nice to say would be a failure mode for this, and one that could be avoided by prompting topics that are more likely to have opportunities. I suspect (though have no direct evidence for this) that the temptation to say “you are just wrong about the Topical Issue of the Day” will arise given what I’ve seen of LessWrong or Astral Codex Ten meetups, which is where I anticipate these being used. I think it’s harder to nudge people into using the affordance Crocker’s Rules provide. I’ll update once I’ve run this a few times and found out :)
