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 →

Peter Majeranowski no published score: no usable exchanges 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 Wow. Okay. So, so Hillary had this idea to use tobacco plants to make biofuel and even Got a patent for that technology, and, and presumably that idea really grabbed your attention because, because of your time you spent working on fuel tankers in the Navy. Is that, is that right?

A Yeah. One of my first jobs in the Navy, I was boarding ships smuggling oil out of Iraq against UN sanctions, and we'd usually have to sit on those ships after we, we intercepted them for 18 hours at a time, so I had a lot of time to think about the geopolitical nature of energy and oil, and, and that really ignited A passion inside of me to, to look at alternative fuels and how amazing it would be if you could democratize energy, uh, take these large poker chips away from bad actors around the world. I mean, we're still seeing this today in Europe, uh, with the war in Ukraine. And so when he mentioned that to me, and it happened to be, uh, during this global recession where I was not active anymore, I thought this is something I could really dig my teeth into. And so The next thing we know, we're, we're starting what's now CERC, but at that time was called Titan Biosciences.

Q So 2004, um, and you went, I guess you went on to work for, um, like a, from whatever, defense industry management firm, but is it, was it like, um, an investment firm, or?

A Yes. Uh, it was a small group investing in mainly new NATO countries that were soon to join the EU. Uh, so these would be countries like, uh, Romania or Bulgaria, um, where it was still very emerging markets with a lot of opportunity. And I was excited to go there. Uh, my, my Pentagon boss, uh, was a civilian, um, had a lot of experience in those markets. And so we went there to, uh, Uh, invest U.S. dollars into these emerging opportunities. And for me, I already got a bug for, for business and how enterprise can move economies and move, move countries. Uh, and I was very interested in that. And so for, for me, Eastern Europe was a great place to, to cut my teeth and really take on a lot of tasks.
