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 That's amazing. So, so first, what got you into this?

A Yeah, it's, it's, it's always a funny thing to think about how two, two guys got into the quilting business. I think, I think we started in the same way that a lot of people start businesses. You start in one place, and then you kind of drift to another where you find market fit, and so my business partner was in Nairobi, and when you're over there, you see all the t-shirts that get donated to the Goodwill, and then wind up shipped overseas, and so, you He was stuck in this traffic jam, and it was because a guy had fallen off his rickshaw, and that guy was wearing a t-shirt that said, I danced my ass off at Josh's Bar Mitzvah in 1997. And so, obviously, that guy in Nairobi had not gone to Josh's Bar Mitzvah, and so, uh, we all, we started thinking about the global Supply chain of t-shirts and, um, how to prevent somebody's shirts from getting shipped overseas and maybe winding up in landfills. And so we started making tote bags and, and infinity scarves. Um, and we would sell them at local markets and people will come up to us and they would say, well, what can you do with my t-shirts? And after a while they started saying, well, what can, can you turn my t-shirts into a quilt? And we were like, no, we don't really want to do that. That's not that cool. But then No one was really buying anything else we were selling, and so we figured out a way to make an affordable t-shirt qui…
