Hermes, Language, and How a Myth Gets Us Closer to Truth | Scott Neumeister | TEDxHeritageGreen

Words—basically, they're ALL tiny lies. How? And what can that teach us about truth? Using the origin story of the Greek god Hermes, mythic pathfinder Scott Neumeister, PhD, guides us on an insightful journey on navigating truth in communication.

Scott is a literary scholar and author from Tampa, Florida, where he earned his PhD in English from the University of South Florida in 2018. His specialization in multiethnic American literature and mythology comes after careers as an information technology systems engineer and a teacher of English and mythology at the middle school and college levels.
