I mean, don’t expect to deeply understand everything everyone is idly throwing out here. When you get the spirit of an idea and a sense of where someone is hoping with a thought and you want to see where it goes, help it along. If you don’t, shrug and move on.

It’s not a court of law, a Mueller investigation, or an NSF proposal review panel. It’s a bunch of people sorta pooling their largely unedited inner dialogues into a hivemind/graphmind.

Yeah there’s also tiresome shills, personal brand builders, malicious opinion hackers, kangaroo courts of public opinion, and a president who really shouldn’t be trying to run foreign policy or the economy here. Still the default “spitballing” assumption isn’t a bad one.
