Methods Of Communication & The Gullibility Of Humans

Would you describe yourself as gullible?

In Episode #198 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: using epistemic modals to communicate more effectively, Juan's direct style of conveying information, the release of CIA/FBI documents related to aliens, why we wouldn't be overly worried about the probing upon a first meeting, questions we would ask the aliens, the difference between gullibility and credulity before finishing up with reputation management.

As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
