How different would our lives be if we were able to be honest with each other about all things at all times?Chris explores some of the common lies we tell and the consequences they can have on our lives, relationships, and society. By touring through some anecdotes and classic examples, we see how quickly small lies can accumulate and lead to problems far greater than those that the lies were designed to protect against.The price is not only interpersonal, with society struggling under political and information systems that all-but invite lies, with all the attached costs of eroded public trust.By exploring the importance of honesty and touring through instances where it slips, it emerges that striving for truth - no matter how uncomfortable - is ultimately the best option when facing the headwinds that inevitably come for all lives and civilisations.Chapters00:00 The Nature of Lies02:04 Cultural Perspectives on Lying03:42 Personal Experiences with Lies05:46 The Consequences of White Lies07:46 The Cost of Pretending10:02 Escalating Misalignments11:25 The Burden of Lies13:30 The Importance of Honesty15:45 Learning from Lies20:37 The Consequences of Lies26:42 Lying in Politics35:57 The Civilisational Impact of Lies39:59 The Subtle Lies We Live By39:59 Moralising Preferences and Its Pitfalls40:34 The Impact of Small Lies on Life40:50 The Impact of Societal Lies42:53 The Consequences of Certainty in Society43:12 Media Trust and Its Consequences43:12 PatronsIG: @chrisendreypodcastpatreon.com/endrey
