What I think about you

So, having heard Mike Li compare Jaynes to a thousand-year-old vampire, one question immediately popped into my mind:

"Do you get the same sense off me?" I asked.

Most people need feedback in many areas. Most people can give feedback in many areas. But for some reason I don't see a lot of actual honest feedback happening, neither in my personal life, nor at work, nor here on LW. This looks like some sort of market failure, or perhaps a bug in society.

Would we benefit from a norm that encouraged asking for feedback or critique in any area, perhaps using open threads set up specially for that? I think we would. What do you think?

So, this seems to be potentially turning into the thread that it describes.
And... OK, I'll bite.

Crocker's Rules apply (in descendents of this comment only).
Private messages welcome but I have a mild preference for public comments.
I'm precommiting to not responding to any resulting comments via either channel unless you specifically say you want a response.

I have a strong preference for feedback expressed as suggestions for change.
