# What did we talk about?

Judging other people's values versus judging their hypocrisy
Ethnocentrism
Not knowing what you are 
Ignorance vs pretending to be ignorant
self awareness on a culture by culture basis
why precepts conversations are disengenuous - lying all the way down
what is conversation for?  exchange of info, different perspectives, feedback on conclusions
don't have heroes who aren't heroic
sometimes the captain of the ship has to break the rules
1900's translators who don't mention the precepts and don't keep them personally
tolerance for lying in politics, religion, academics?
you don't get to tell me I'm not factual!
