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 Thanks so much for jumping on. Uh, have you been tracking the Ukraine story closely? Uh, any insights there, anything in the portfolio that's, uh, at all relevant in the defense tech world? Uh, do you expect a response from the US government, or guidance, or change to any strategies? Really, any takes on that?

A I mean, first shit, what a, what a time to be alive. I mean, uh, you know, I'm sure your, your, your Twitter feeds and, and your, uh, group chats were blown up, uh, pun intended over the weekend. Um, I mean, it's pretty crazy. I mean, let's be honest, like first, I'm not shocked that, that the Ukrainians did this. Uh, I mean, the execution seemed to be flawless from what we can pull from, from open source Intel. I do think though, I mean, again, it's not a surprise that the Ukrainians have been mastering drone warfare for the last Handful of years. And, you know, you want to call it that, you know, they called it spider web. Like this was their, this was their Trojan horse. This was their, you know, Israeli beeper. Um, and, and the outcome is, is, is, is pretty impressive to be honest. I mean, what, what, what, from the outside looking in, like the Russians woke up, uh, over the weekend and they thought they were getting their four dollar team orders. And what did they get? They got a thousand, you know, FPV drones, you know, blowing them to smithereens. So it's pretty impressive. I mean, my, my, my takeaways from this are really twofold.
