Lying just to see whether you can trick people. And sometimes telling larger lies to get larger effects.Collection: Lying

True piety lies rather in the power to contemplate the universe with a quiet mind.Collection: Lying

But that's part of the charade, part of what makes us human, and we do not even think about it. In effect, we lie to ourselves. Lies are only despicable when they betray a trust.Collection: Lying

We have more than two options. A critique of reason does not have to be a call for the return of superstition and arbitrary power.
