The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q advanced manufacturing. And so, you know, if someone's listening, they might be like, okay, a bunch of people are retiring. Some people are not very keen. On the idea of us continuing to pursue space, but what would you say, you know, to, to the average person, like what's at stake here? What are we going to lose if, if these people retire and we don't have these things documented?

A Unless we solve this problem, I think the country and, you know, our way of life is, is at a existential risk. And the analogy I give to people is if you're living in a small town or something like that, you know, we've built up 200 layers of abstractions in society so that like you can be an artist Or you can be a painter or like, you know, you can be in finance or in crypto or, you know, making video games or whatever happens to be. And the reality of the world is that, you know, 200 years ago, you know, we were killing each other over food and like, it's a, it's a miracle in the first place that we're here and that, you know, society is relatively stable and like the roads get back. People forget because they grew up in America that it's so successful that like, you know, they don't have to worry about having a bulletproof car. Otherwise, if you have more than like a 100,000 dollar net worth, Someone in the gang might try and steal your daughter, which for the rest of the world is like a reality, right? Um, but because, you know, America is so isolated culturally, you know, most Americans view of geopolitics is Russia bad. You don't learn those lessons.
