I like the idea of this thread. I often have crazy ideas but few spring to mind right now.
I also wonder if the thread is off-topic for lesswrong. For being distracting and not rationalist or progress towards a goal.
In this generality it is off-topic, yes. But by making it into a separate thread this provides a niche for it.
I also wondered whether I should restrict ideas to those tangential to LW topics but decided against it. Maybe for a later installment.
In this way I believe this is a shift to destroy the old garden-form that we have had. Stupid silly and fun, but no longer the focussed LessWrong that it used to be.
Now that I see the amount of response I think I really could have made it more focussed. Now.
