I think formalizing something along theses lines could have a huge impact on the trajectory and efficiency of discussions in this forum format.
I would love for users to discretize their opinions into a series of individual assertions so that other users can explicitly and publicly “agree” or “disagree” with each piece individually. This would be such an awesome bird’s eye view to have on the opinion space for any topic.
Really I think it could be a revolutionary approach to consensus building in every context (political, etc.), but if any community is gonna start the trend I think it would be likely to be us coders…
I just saw the opportunity to introduce this idea relative to this discussion, but this thing I’m talking about would be something to hash out in a different thread, so probably best not to respond much to this idea here in this thread.
