okay
it'll be a rectangle
Discussion
How about a hexagonal table? Or even an octagon?
Usually roundtables are lazy hosting. They are always aimless and it's irritating to witness the groupthink. Whoever goes first on am issue is always the one to set the tone, then we get to listen to everyone ass-kiss. Listening to them audio-only is mess because you have no idea who is talking and why they should be talking. This is what I do all day long in meetings and when I want content, I expect something that is organized, planned and powerful.
So what's a better alternative?
Okay, but tell me how you really feel…
lol strong table opinions I see
What if there’s like no table at all and we just talk table-less?
what would you call it then?
round?
Nostr Notables
Yes, I love it. But only if you talk to one notable nostr personality at a time
Okay Walker, this is how you do it. In ham radio, there is a concept called a net. And you have a net control. And the net control asks, introduces each person individually and asks them to speak one at a time. The same concept exists in Robert's Rules. You have a chair and the chair is who decides who speaks next. Rather than a round table, you could have a court where the court is controlled by the chair or the host. This way you can have a show that is not dedicated to one individual, but that you can ask each individual at the beginning who they are and what they're known for, what their subject matter is. You write that down and then you go back around and you ask each person to talk about their topic or their field of expertise. The way this is handled in informal nets is that you have a round robin sequence where maybe there's a topic that is chosen for each round of discussion. Now you can have it both ways.
I like that!
No hollow square with hollow men.
