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 →

Alec Ross 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 outside one's company or non-compete arrangements and the movement of people and human capital across organizations. So it's kind of interesting to sort of take that back up a little and think about some of the policy aspects, because you, more than anyone then, has seen this perspective across all these governments. So where does this policy role, especially with government, and also outside of government, come into all this?

A Oh, that's a, first of all, I'm in violent agreement with everything that you said, Sonal. And government policies are deterministic in terms of the degree to which the, these economic systems are open or closed and the degree to which it's easy or difficult to be an entrepreneur. And since you brought up the point that this doesn't sort of hit the West against the East and it's like, oh, hip, hip hooray for us white folks in the United States and Europe and, you know, against, you know, those of you elsewhere. You know, let me actually pick on the United States and parts of Europe for a moment. So in Europe, you can see an inclination towards being increasingly closed around policies like data sovereignty.
