In some ways I like this idea, but in some ways I don't think it would work. Suppose, for example, that I produce a post entitled "The real reason why philosophical realism sucks". The post consists of 20 lines or so of aphorisms, each a link to a more complete philosophical argument. Cool, potentially informative, and very likely useful as a reference. But how would you discuss a posting like that in the comments?
