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 Was it, was this, was this normal that like, were a lot of your friends doing these jobs too, where you were from? Was that like a thing that a lot of kids were doing?

A Yeah. I mean, once you turn 13, you can get a official, like a work permit and, and, and, and, Most of my friends all had jobs. Um, and we worked and did athletics and sports and, um, and then went to school. Um, and so I would usually get home when I was in high school, I would, I would go to football practice. And then after football practice, I got a job at a, there was a butcher nearby. Um, and I would go and help skin deer, um, during hunting season. And then I would get home at about like 10 o'clock at night, do my schoolwork, and then turn around and go to school at six in the morning.

Q Have you used that, I've used that skill as an adult at all to, to skin a deer?

A I have not, but I am an investor in, uh, a company called Crowd Cow. Um, and so I, I know a little bit about butchering. I, and so I, I think from all these jobs from working in a grocery store and working in, uh, the, the diner and working as a mason, working in carpentry, working in the, but like, I think I just have a really broad, uh, perspective on various industries. And so when I, when I went into modeling, uh, I, I actually won a contest. I won a trip to New York when I was. I got there and I had my boy scout duffel bag and, uh, and a hundred dollars and, and I would Every morning I would wake up and I would walk 40 blocks down to the modeling agency in the office until they would send me out on a casting. And, and so because I'd only ever worked, um, non-salary jobs, my assumption was I needed to go and sit in the modeling agency for eight hours a day until they would send me out on things. And so that, that was just the framework through which I looked at the job of modeling is I would wake up, Walk to the agency and sit there until they would send me out to do something. And then when I would, after I would go on a casting call, I would come back and sit in the agency.
