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 your way to changing your behavior. I mean, on one hand, you're, you're arguing that because it's inevitable, our behaviors will change. We accept that we walk around with smartphones and computers and tracking that we didn't, we wouldn't hypothetically have said we would, we would have accepted that before. But now that we do, is there a process where you almost have to go through it to get there?

A See, I'm a big believer that the way we steer technology through engagement by use, I, I'm really, I find that, that most of the Most of the inventors don't even have any idea what the technology really ultimately be used for. I mean, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, and we have his journals of what he was writing down, what he thought this new ability to record sound was going to be, and his very first idea was that it would be used to record the dying, the last words of the dying, and then his second idea was we could do sermons. We could record sermons and distribute them, and he had a whole list Things. And the very end.
