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.

Now let's go to number two, the, you know, You're really good at listening and finding that next question. But you, you, it is such an amazing hack to learn, right? And, and to, and to build a network, and to even build a group of friends.

A Look, I always felt reticent that I did business at university. I did two business degrees, including a masters, and I can't remember anything from either of them. I spent a lot of time partying, again, club promoter, bingo. Um, And I always thought, I wish I'd gone and done psychology. I wish I'd sort of followed something more approximating a passion, or philosophy, or sociology, or something. And then I realized a couple years ago, I was like, well, you have done that. You've got to design your own degree, only speaking to the best in their field about the very specific niche part of their topic that you want to learn on your terms, with no coursework or homework beyond what you want to do, and you get to call it a job. So whatever version of the simulation that we're in at the moment, I need to sort of... Thank the designer, because it's wild that I get to call this a career.
