So every statement should always be taken seriously? Is there no minimum bar of credibility that should be met?

- jpttsn 5y agoCredibility is not only about who says it, but at least a bit about what they say, right? If McAfee said the moon is made of cheese, I’d call that less credible than McAfee saying he’s going to get suicided.
- fastball 5y agoRight, it's about both. "The US government is gonna suicide me" is not a statement I would believe coming from the average person, and given McAfee's statements/claims/drug abuse/tax evasion/etc I would say he had less credibility than the average person.
