  • So when will we get to see a conversation between a prarie dog and a human?

  • @TalksWithDirt

    its like in Oriental languages - a small change in tone can make a difference in the meaning of a word.

  • @Keon994 Well those people who are good at telling if others are lying pick up on a variety of facial cues and tonality in a persons voice to tell they are being dishonest. We can all learn this, i havnt read it but if your interested try "Never Be Lied to Again" at amazon. Poker players also are great at reading subtle subcommunication as they need to distinguish bluffing. And we are all pretty well trained at this kind of thing, its just that usually its confined to close family and friends.

  • @mrsnoogle mmm yes I know now what you mean, but what about the more subtle versions of sub communication? It goes beyond the basic things such as what you described but often I feel I don't pick up the much more subtle things but I would like to learn how. Could you give some examples of extremely subtle human sub communication?

  • @Keon994 well I'd argue that you do. If i stuck my middle finger up at you you'd probably know what i was thinking. If i said something in a sarcastic manner you'd probably know what i was thinking, if a beautiful female undressed herself and licked her lips while looking into your eyes in the privacy of your bedroom you'd know what she was thinking.

  • @mrsnoogle Well uh I only know one language and that's english. I don't know any of that sub communication.

  • @Keon994

    But they do mean different things. If you to hear someone saying both your experience and understanding of what was going on would be massively different. Its called sub communication and Humans sometimes communicate up to %90 with sub communication alone - say during mating rituals such as dating.

  • How come in English small changes in tone do not change the meaning of words (except the emotion of the speaker).

    For example in english if you say in a very bored disinterested tone of voice"A guy is being eaten by a bear over there" VS saying it in a very terrified and nervous voice it still means the exact same thing- the fact that a guy is being eaten by a bear.

  • @Taiev subtle changes in tone make a huge difference

  • @NebunLaCap Where are you getting that from? Just wondering.
