I like what you’re doing trying to do here. I think this is important work.
I’m a bit confused at what you mean by Layperson though?
These are good for the ‘every day’ above average intelligence ‘switched on’ type of individual.
But that is not what I image a Layperson as. I interact regularly with ~100 people. (For context, I am a Drama Teacher and Trivia Host)
I thought about how many I predict could understand these examples, given 20 seconds of their attention. I thought of 10 people. The other 90% would fall into a few other categories that all end with them not being more knowledgeable after coming across the text.
But am I confused? Was that 90% not the target audience?
Yeah, I agree we need improvement. I don’t know how many people it’s important to reach, but I am willing to believe you that this will hit maybe 10%. I expect the 10% to be people with above-average impact on the future, but I don’t know what %age of people is enough.
90% is an extremely ambitious goal. I would be surprised if 90% of the population can be reliably convinced by logical arguments in general.
Yep! If I think about those 10 people, 5 are having, or I expect to have large impact on the future.
As for ages, all the people I thought of except one were over 20. There was one 14yo who is just naturally super high G.
