I am in strong support of unrefined ideas, brainstorming and revision. Thinking about more, its not the undefinedness. There is a certain class of ideas that personally frustrate me—they are ideas that are deliberately edgy and extreme, and usually involve violating some common Western value.
I’d say in this thread, there about half top level comments which are genuinely unrefined uncertain but interesting ideas. The rest, maybe less than half are edgy contrarian ideas. Although looking back to the last Crazy Ideas thread, over 90% seem like genuinely experimental ideas. Maybe I should just wait for a few more iterations.
I don’t think the only purpose of this forum is to make well thought out good ideas and then refute if they are in fact well thought out good ideas.
Sometimes it’s great to have a thread we’re we use crazier less refined ideas to help with brainstorming or as the creative seed of a better idea.

How about renaming it to “Brainstorming Thread”?
