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.

Tony Blinken no published score: only 3 usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ · coarse estimate ≈4.5/5 from 3 raw tape exchanges 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 was in Uganda and they were kicked out During the seventies with Idi Amin, my mom's sister went to Sweden and my grandparents went to the UK. And I think that's the other side of this discussion. You mentioned the impact on receiving countries and communities. Can we talk a little bit about that? Like what some of the fears and concerns are and what's top of mind for folks?
A If you visit Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey, these are the countries that have received the most Syrian refugees because, as Lina said, they're, they're the neighboring countries. And put this in perspective, in Lebanon today, somewhere between a quarter and a third of the entire population is a Syrian refugee. There are more Syrian children in Lebanese public schools than there are Lebanese children in these schools. Imagine the burden that this puts on these countries. Transpose it to the United States. The number of refugees in Lebanon, if you transpose that to the United States, it would be the equivalent of us taking seventy million people. And you know the debates we're having about taking 10,000 Syrian refugees. So these countries are bearing a very significant burden. And Lena's exactly right. Ultimately, the way to end this challenge and problem is to end the civil war in Syria and to stop the bombing. And we're working 25 hours a day Trying to do that, even just getting a cessation of hostilities to take that pressure off and get humanitarian assistance flowing. But as that's happening, what's driving them when they get to Jordan, Lebanon, and Turkey are two things. One is access to education. They want their kids to be in school. And second is the ability to work. What you're seeing is so many people and so many middle-class people who've left take their savings with them. …

Q which focuses on education, development, and smart aid for displaced communities in Syria and in neighboring countries. And finally, we have Tony Blinken, the current deputy secretary of state, Who has focused on the global refugee crisis? Before we consider the role of tech, we begin by talking about the sheer scope and magnitude of the problem, something no single conversation can do justice. Who are the refugees beyond statistics?
A It's really important to put this in perspective. You know, we throw around words like crisis very easily, but this is a global crisis and it is of historic proportions. Think about it this way. We are now dealing with the largest single wave of human displacement around the world since World War II. More people on the move because they are displaced from their homes. And if you put all of these people together who are now currently displaced into one country, It would be the 25th or 24th largest country on earth, bigger than South Korea, bigger than Spain. And what's in the headlines, of course, is Syria, but it's global in nature. We have refugees, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, a dozen countries in Africa, and of course, Latin America as well. Uh, and because it's a global crisis, it actually demands a global response. No single country can deal with this effectively on its own.
