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.
