The following program contains civil discourse.
That’s the thing where one person speaks, while others listen
and then that first person stops talking
and listens as a different person talks
There may be occasions where more than one person is talking at once
largely due to enthusiasm
for the subject matters being discussed
But we will try to keep that to a minimum
An informal, loosely formatted and completely unmoderated conversation is expected
And while no ground rules have been agreed upon…
At no point will you hear anyone verbally attacking anyone’s character
Belittling another's intelligence
or
Besmirching somebody else's family members
Because even without rules and moderators…
People can be well behaved and interact in a civil manner
Like adults. Or children for that matter, they’re pretty good at that too.
We choose to be civil.
We choose to be civil with one another on this podcast, and not say the bad things,
not because it is easy…
But because it is hard… to listen to people who aren’t being civil
Besides, being civil is easy.
All you need to do is listen
To
This Week in Science,
