Episode Details

Apparently I'm not super friendly because I refused to chat with the drug addled crazy person.

In Episode #292 of 'Musings' Juan and I discuss: can you be too friendly and the downsides to overt friendliness, where we rank on a scale of nicety, practical steps I have taken to make more international friends, why reciprocity could set standards that are hard to meet and how society could be shaped to be more friendly.

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