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.

Adam Neumann no published score: only 2 usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone
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 Yeah. So how did it change from making some investments to we're going to take a massive swing on, on residential?
A So. Two ways. One, I think real entrepreneurs can't help themselves, actually. I think another, so you said one, what did they go through? I love that. And how did they deal with challenges? And also, can they help themselves? Is this something, is this a problem they must solve? Or do you think it sounds good? If they think it sounds good or they want to be founder because they saw Social Network, the movie, well, that's not, that's not going to be a good reason. Um, great movie, by the way. That's not going to be, that's not going to be good reason, but if it's burning from the inside, and no matter how many people say they have to do it, what happened is I started walking the buildings. And it was lonely. It was soulless. It was depressing. And we're talking, when I say buildings, the buildings we bought, this is 400 to 600 apartments. These are shared gyms that look as nice as equinox and swimming pools and kitchens and all these rooms that were designed by people, assuming people are going to get together. And not only is no one there, even when people are there, they're not talking to each other. And I just looked at it. I was like, I could do so much better than this. And step one was just like, let's just find a little bit of technology. So we found a company that already existed and we bought it and said, let's just connect them a little bit, not with big intentions. A…
