So you say a sub to practice what the entire site is supposed to be about?

That is like having a section of the soccer field where the rules will actually be enforced...

That said, maybe we should all keen in mind these great rundowns of productive thinking and dialogue as well:

I kindof think they all go together with the pyramid.

That said, here is also my list of users who have so far failed my basic check for interest in actual discussion, or who exhibit other traits of un-realness, in case anyone cares what I think, or would like to save themselves some time finding it out for themselves the annoying way.

I think there's value in setting aside a space explicitly to just practice this, especially on topics that aren't serious or that we otherwise might not even care about that much. Usually the purpose of conversations on SaidIt seems to be primarily focused on the topic, rather than being primarily focused on practicing raising the pyramid of debate.

If it's helpful as practice hopefully that will bleed over into the rest of the site, and people will more naturally actively try to raise the pyramid level of debate in a way they're already comfortable with, rather than just trying to follow the rules or not get caught dragging the pyramid level of debate down.

It seemed like a fun and helpful idea when I had it, so I went ahead and made the sub. Now it's there for whoever wants to try it when they do.
