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 →

Niko Bonatsos no published score: only 1 usable exchange on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

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 But also think about this. You were just saying fertility rates are dropping such that countries in two generations will have one 10th the number of people there. So that changes everything too, right? Yeah.

A Yeah, but let's talk about that. What if we have the artificial womb? I just had, you know, a baby through a surrogate. I'm in my early forties. My wife is in her early forties. Honestly, it's amazing. I think we need to make having kids cool again. It's not as much about the incentives, but it's more about the narrative. Like, so if we're old to become a lot more religious, this perhaps would mean that you would get married, you know, earlier. This would probably mean that Um, for the religion to propagate, uh, you would have, you know, more kids earlier. Yeah. So one of the reasons, for example, why in Latin America, the fertility rates decline is some of the steepest in the world is because Catholicism in many of these countries, uh, is not as cool as it used to be in previous, you know, decades.
