upvoted for taskifying very well

Hmm, disagree. This book is an adequate taskification of results-focused meetings. Compared to that, the above post leaves me with an impression of 1) brainstorm, 2) ??? 3) Profit! A large part of the post is about the non-conventional advice to use THC, and that could use more scholarship: the THC-creativity link has been investigated, and I would expect a LW post making substantive claims about it to point to some relevant papers.

The above post leaves me with the impression of a particular structure for group brainstorming. I say it is taskified very well because I could easily (i.e. within 2 hours probably) implement the procedure and notice the difference and attempt to measure the results compared with brainstorming without following the procedure.

I agree that it needs more scholarship; but I expect different things out of discussion posts than I do out of published books.

Yes, sorry, I'm fleshing it out now. This is the discussion area for unfinished ideas, isn't it? I'm taking everyone's criticisms into consideration.
