Being a better speaker doesn't necessarily mean your ideas are going to get worse.
In your essay, you say:
Being a really good speaker is not merely orthogonal to having good ideas, but in
many ways pushes you in the opposite direction.
Paraphrasing the above passage, "being a really good speaker ... pushes you in the opposite direction [of having good ideas]".
These two statements seems to be in direct contradiction of each other.
- pg 15y agoNo. It just means you have to expend extra effort.
- solipsist 15y agoThis is interesting. So you think that being a good speaker negatively impacts one's ideas, although it won't necessarily be noticeable to others? That is because those who are good speakers have counteracted the negative impact with more practice.
