Do you set apart a specific mix of circumstances for the pursuit of Aumann agreement?
Agreement is seldom a goal for me in intellectual discussion. The goal is rather to learn something new or to let the person I'm discovering with learn something new. It's about exploration of ideas.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
