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 →

Sandy Lerner no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ · coarse estimate ≈4.5/5 from 4 produced feed exchanges 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 So you created a system that would allow these computers to communicate, what today we would, I guess, call a router. You build a network in At Stanford, what was the thing that was motivating you guys? Why did you want to do this for Stanford?

A I didn't do it for Stanford. I think there's a lot of misunderstanding about those early ARPA years. We did it because it was the right thing to do. ARPA was giving money. It was all public, public domain. Nobody had a financial motive. And the thing that ARPA did that was so amazing, even today, was it gave the right people the right money. It wasn't political. It wasn't There wasn't any religion involved in it. It was just this collection of these incredibly smart, dedicated people who made things. And I was really, really lucky to get to be a part of that. I mean, everything that you could do every day, and you could hook something new up, or you could, you know, you could get a message someplace, or you could, you know, you could get these milestones, and it was, I guess if you're a nerd, it was just a tremendous adrenaline rush.

Q And turkeys. Tell me, tell me about that. How did that start?

A Well, you know, I was raised on a farm, and I believe in eating meat. I mean, we've got these pointy teeth right here. But, you know, I, The idea that you would factory farm to me was beyond horrifying, and I absolutely believe that. We did not use that kind of farming when I grew up. We farmed the way my grandfather knew how to farm, which was the manure on the fields, and you fed your cows good things, and at the end of the time, Your cow fed your neighbor. I mean, we would no more have poisoned our cows because we would have poisoned our neighbors at that point. So I was convinced that I could find an economic model because I had the resources to raise large livestock profitably in a sustainable, organic, and humane paradigm.
