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.

Q I think these are hypotheses. This might work. It might not work. This, this is the insight, you know? So I, I do, I do think that that's, it's worth, it's worth putting in there. And it's like a TBD will, you know, in the future, we'll, we'll go explore. You had a really, really, really good insight, which is people who, how did you describe it? People who follow,
A Oh, like, yeah, I think, so there's, like, status where it's, like, I can wear the status myself, or there's status, like, who's, who am I in the room with, right? And so you're, like, looking at the people who I'm in the room with, and implicitly thinking, I have high status. So online, you know, that'll be, like, who's followed, who else is following me on Twitter? If, you know, like, you're following me on Twitter, or Paul Graham's following me on Twitter, or, like, Elon Musk is following me on Twitter. It's, like, okay, even if I only have, like, tens of thousands of followers, Maybe I actually am a high status or accomplished, like up and coming person that is worthy of being included in some pool.

Q Totally. Um, why now? Why, why should this business be created now? Well, it's easier, it's easier than ever. To create software. So, it's basically cheap to launch a dating app, whereas it used to cost a couple million bucks.
A Yeah, cheap to launch, like, so many distribution channels you can try to hack to get users, like, although that's, you know, you could talk about retention of those users, but in general, I think there's, like, a lot more ways to try to get people to use your products. Um, and I think, like, you know, like, probably the top, in the top five topics for people between, like, ages 18 and, like, 40 is, like, how to find a partner. So, I think people are like, okay, like, all the legacy, like, wave of dating apps that have been around for the last, like, 10 to 20 years are feeling, like, increasingly, like, desperate and inefficient. So I think people are looking for new things. I think, like, the, we want to do it completely on, like, offline IRL thing is cool, but I don't think, like, 100% practical. I do think there's going to continue to be, like, You know, an interest in at least doing both things, like looking on apps or online, and then also doing a lot of the IRL stuff.

Q And is, would it be like something like a, a pendant or you, you wear it and it's listening or what are you thinking?
A Not, I mean, I think that's like a whole nother, it's not like, this is not in my opinion, serious enough to like merit a hardware product that goes along with it. I think it's more just like, oh, it's like an app. Maybe you can like make it background listen, like for some certain conversations, obviously like all privacy disclosures, like that's not part of this ideation process, but I think it's just like, okay, Let's say I was even having an interview or something, or I was like meeting somebody new for a date, I could be like, how did I perform on this date? Like, which obviously the date is not going to tell you how you performed. So, I, I'm a little like not sure if it's Again, the human improvement scale, I don't know how I would rate this idea, but I do feel like it could work if you, if you made it the right way. So I think there are people who are interested in like experiments that they think could work for short periods of time. So this would be one of those.

Q Yeah. It's coming. This is coming. Can you list four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10 status symbols, uh, that are more modern internet culture type status symbols? And the reason I say this is because I think people can actually go and create the league for insert status symbols.
A They could. Um, well, you can do like the hard organizational filters, which is like, okay, I, what I see as an example, you could go like bigger orgs or smaller orgs, like things like the Thiel Fellowship would be too small. Probably is probably like only like a hundred people or something in there. I don't know, but I think there's organizations like that. So you could do it that way where you're looking for something that's already defined, um, or you could obviously do like platforms. So, you know, you have some number of hundreds of thousands of followers on Twitter, or, you know, you're, you're trying to get to that on YouTube. So I think you could also do like, all right, obvious data symbol these days is like, what's your follower count? Like on Instagram or Tik TOK or YouTube or, Twitter and, you know, it's like kind of funny. I feel like these days people are like, I have a combined. 250,000 followers across all platforms. So like, I don't know, there's some interesting ways to think about it that way. I think those are probably like the ones that would be easiest to filter for. But to be honest, I think there's like, you know, a lot more things where you could be somewhat subjective by your criteria, which is just like, what influence level do you have? Or like, what circles are you in? Like, Even, like, looking at the who else follows this person would be, like, suc…
