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 the business, how you can create a problem rather than to just specifically solve a problem, you're thinking at a smaller level and therefore the amount of help you can provide to the world is less. And so your company is able to grow less and the growth happens slower. What happened in your life that made you come to this realization that people are looking at it all wrong?

A Well first, and this may sound counterintuitive, I don't say that people are looking at it all wrong. People are looking at everything or anything, um, based on what they already know and what they were given. And that's all you have. So if you only speak English, it doesn't mean that you're speaking wrong because you don't speak Vietnamese or Portuguese or Russian. You just have what you have. And I would say the paradigm that we are given is all about evolution, uh, more, better, different. So we're doing X and we want to do it. We want to do more of it. So we try and do more. If that doesn't work, then we do it better. If that doesn't work, we do it differently. And that's just the paradigm we're given. That's part of our education system. It's part of our mindset. Uh, and so it, it, It gives us almost a hamster on the wheel of trying harder, the little red caboose. We're taught, you know, I think I can, I think I can. You just try harder, try harder, and you're just really doing a version of more, better, or different, and we're solving problems, and oftentimes they don't even get to the source, but if it, if it makes something go away because I got the right answer, that's also how we're educated. Just come up, you have to have the right answer, you get the grade, you get the four point no GPA. But when you talk about creating problems, you don't have the answers. So you'r…
