I would like the rationality diary, open thread, and stupid questions to be combined into one weekly thread.

I would dislike this relative to the status quo. In my case, I have comparatively little interest in the "stupid questions" thread, and appreciate that the current setup allows me to read the other two threads without having to sort them out.

I agree with Dorikka, and for much the same reasons. Having these separate allows me to read what kind of content I want to read whenever, and if reading is made easier and posting is not really made harder, there is no reason not to keep it as it is.

I have particular interest in the "stupid questions" thread and want it to stay separate. I'm neutral on the separation of rationality diary and open thread.

What do you find especially interesting about the "stupid questions" thread?

  • I'm definitely too shy to make a top-level comment in the open thread, in part because I fear my thoughts are not clever enough to belong on this forum. It seems good to have a designated place where this is less of a concern.
  • I am more likely to have a useful or interesting response to a "stupid question" than to a typical open thread comment.
