Unless someone has something to say, why would they be given a turn? That is completely nonsensical.

Unless someone has something to say, why would they be given a turn? That is completely nonsensical.
- robertlagrant 5y agoHow do you know if they have something to say to decide whether or not to give them a turn?
- randomdata 5y agoSame way humans have always figured it out? They say it.
- robertlagrant 5y agoBut you're against them saying it?
- randomdata 5y agoNo.
- robertlagrant 5y agoThen I think you need to explain yourself better. Saying a 10s phrase that says I don't have anything to report would send everyone to sleep seems to imply that you don't think people should say that.
- randomdata 5y agoRegurgitating a, what is little more than gibberish, canned response when you have nothing to say is very different to speaking when you have something of value to say. That it only takes 10 seconds to utter that gibberish does not give it any more value. Assigning turns so that someone is forced to spit out that gibberish is nonsensical. Allowing someone the floor when they speak up when they have something to say is worthwhile, and something people do naturally. There is no need for an explicit turn where someone must say something.

- randomdata 5y agoWhat you seem to not understand is that normal people don't speak up when they only have a canned response they were told to say, to say. They technically could, but usually they are smart enough to realize that it is stupid to do so and reserve the act for when they know they have something of value to contribute. If you are hiring stupid people, well, good luck. Someone uttering gibberish is likely the least of your worries, which no doubt explains why you haven't noticed the problem with it.
- robertlagrant 5y ago> What you seem to not understand is that normal people don't speak up when they only have a canned response they were told to say, to say. I never mentioned a canned response they were told to say. You've invented this.
- randomdata 5y agoYou didn't need to mention it. It was already baked into the discussion long before you ever replied. It is not like the subject would have magically changed beneath us. That you seem confused about the subject now is... strange.
- robertlagrant 5y agoIt wasn't baked into anything. I never said that. If you're inventing things, then I don't know what to tell you. Presumably you'll interpret anything I say in an arbitrary way, adding or subtracting to make what I say fit a stereotype.
