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 So break it down for me. I saw a hundred K fellowship. I also see a school. Uh, typically I have to pay for school. Are you paying me? How does this all work?

A Right. So this is essentially, there's several things that are happening at the same time. Sure. Like obviously traditional academia is basically over as we know it. It's about 10 different things hitting it at the same time. Um, and, uh, it's, you know, lost trust and credibility and so on. And, uh, you know, what we've got here is we're doing global meritocracy. Anybody from anywhere, obviously Americans are welcome, but anybody who's what I call internet first is welcome, right? So if you're, You know, pro-Bitcoin, if you're pro-cryptocurrency, smart contracts, and so on, you're pro-AI, you're pro-biotech, pro-nuclear, and whatnot. And those kinds of people exist all over the world. And, uh, and so we're bringing them here. And so global meritocracy, basically. And, uh, there's, there's Vitalik, there's Brian Johnson. Can you see the video?

AI assessment note: “obviously traditional academia is basically over as we know it.”
