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 How do you, how do you implement that philosophy Um, differently now at Anduril so that you have a more inclusive place where folks on the left and folks on the right come together, work on things that really matter. I mean, I think everybody agrees you're building really important things in the world. So how do you do that this time around that's different from the Facebook experience?

A So a few things. One, I think that building, working in national security has been a great filter where, uh, people aren't going to come work for you unless they're okay working in a bit of a controversial field. I'm actually somewhat concerned about the Ukraine conflict in that regard, in that in the making In, in making defense mainstream, it makes it possible for people to potentially say, oh, that isn't controversial now. I'm gonna go to this place, and then I'm gonna potentially attack people for their views. But I think when you run a company that is inherently working on something that's controversial, people on the right and on the left both feel like they're on the side of this important bipartisan issue, and all of these other policy differences can kind of go to the side. And the culture at Anderil is, everyone is free to have whatever politics they want. Like, I'm a Republican. Our CEO, Brian Schimpf, is a Democrat. We both make Significant contributions to our respective sizes, and we have employees across the country. And I think also it's, it's nipping it in the bud. You know, it's about when somebody says something that is out of line, it's about getting it early and saying, hey, that's not okay at this company. We're, we're here to talk, to work on a common mission. For example, if we had a manager who then publicly went and said, the half of my employees who s…

Q I was hoping to talk about your new thing, but I guess since we have no choice but go here, well, what happened at Facebook? And maybe you can just explain that, and what I, I got wrong about what happened.

A Well, it's not just what's wrong. This is actually why I, I went out of my way. There's actually a lot of lies you told in Spread, and your co-hosts, and your guests, but I'm not even talking about those. The things that I listed, you'll notice these aren't material accusations. These are just personal attacks you've made on my character. These are just things you've said about me personally as a founder and entrepreneur. Vicious personal attacks. Separately, there's all of the lies that you've said about how Oculus didn't have any differentiated technology. It was totally commoditized. Anybody could have done it. It really was just the right thing at the right time. We could spend all day talking about why these aren't true, but the real reason that it became untenable for me, and the real reason that I'm not in the VR industry, is because people like you were enabling those lies, and then being vicious about it, and attacking me personally. It became clear I couldn't be a representative in an industry where people are going to treat me like that, fairly or not.
