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 →

Senator Ted Cruz no published score: only 1 usable exchange 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 And in some ways it'll just make it almost impossible for the Democrats to react, because where do you focus?

A Yes, and, and, and Chamath, that's actually a point, you know, I think back to, so my wife Heidi and I met on the 2000 George W. Bush campaign, and, and so we both served, ah, as young people in the Bush administration, and, and I, I think there is a quantum of outrage, and I call it the arsenic quantum of outrage. If you remember the beginning of Bush 43, One of the first things he did is his EPA revoked a rule on arsenic. And for like six weeks, the media saturated the airwaves with the evil Republicans want to poison our children with arsenic. And I mean, it was, it dominated forever, and they beat the living daylights out of it for it. Now look, Monday when you get a hundred executive orders, I think that's how much outrage there is. And that arsenic quantum of outrage will be directed at everything.

AI assessment note: “that arsenic quantum of outrage will be directed at everything.”
