  2. Thank you for this video. A vital subject. I still feel uncomfortable about telling my children that there's Father Christmas and the tooth fairy. Without honesty, families and societies just don't function well enough - we see that dysfunction and its results all around us every day. It's at the heart of why modern life is such a struggle. Indeed, BBB, in all my life experience I've found that too often people just do not want to know the truth, or they know that honesty can have punitive repercussions. Ask anyone who's been a whistleblower in some (or many?) of our institutions. Meanwhile, my children seem to have recovered from my parental mendacity, one even has a career in an official truth-seeking and prosecutorial role.

  3. I've come across that too. Outright, blatant libel in fact. Given the £multi-billion cost of negligence claims every year, the NHS cannot be held up as any sort of champion of honesty. Quite the opposite indeed. As you say, just one lie can lead to exponential suspicion and the degradation of relationships and all the social structures that are necessary to hold society together. How many people trust the government and the media after 2 yrs of covid?

  4. Well said. The rise of sociopathic behaviour in modern society is at epidemic levels I reckon. Dishonesty erodes the whole fabric of our society. It really injures real people.
