I know you explain it later in the post, but I would prefer that the phrase “tell the person what you think their problems are” not be used to describe people offering doom. IMHO it’s very bad if people think about it this way.
The framing that seems more accurate to me is something like “why will this person have failed in their efforts?” Basically, how do you think they are doomed, hence the doom circle. You are trying to see how things are going to play out for them and should they not succeed, what happened?
Thanks! Edited in the main post. Please let me know if you see other things I should change. I was wanting a link to Doom Circles for an event and didn’t find one, so wrote this up and pushed it so it would be available to link to in an email. I’m guessing I missed a bunch/phrased some things in suboptimal ways :).
