If I was to give anyone advice. I’d say be radically honest with yourself and with others. Lying is easy in the moment, but leads to a worse life.

Jordan Peterson says be honest with your wife immediately small fire, bottle it up and tell her later inferno

Lying is high time preference.
The negativity compounds over time, worsening peace of mind and therefore life, inevitably, for self and immediate family.
Honesty is the basis for creating a strong foundation for yourself, and for civilization.

And everytime you lie, you have to keep that lie going forever in fear of being called out as a liar. It will eventually be found out too. Easier to just tell the truth , then you have nothing to keep track of
That’s the truth
My life has improved greatly since I stopped telling small lies. Now, I either tell the truth or just refuse to talk about it. It's great.

Be a new radical, and you will get what you give
Yes but I think the issue is when to speak and not to speak. When to pick your fights …

People pleaser here. Saying “yes” and “sure” are on autopilot - regardless of intention/action. Saying no means freedom. Saying no is extremely difficult.
K cool. Haha. I think you should pay an invoice for posterity sake. Hahaha. Remember the time we did 1 million? 😉✅️

Wait. I messed that up. Hahaha. Jokes on me. The new block reward us 3.125. I lose this round.
The amount of energy required to maintain a lie over time compounds.
I don't understand why someone would lie when they don't have to. So I don't understand how lying is "easy in the moment", but there are so many situations for so many people where lying is pretty necessary or else they definitely live a worse life. E.g. most children with their parents, or in school, or with authority figures.
Honesty is like a tree, stands firmly thanks to its roots. On the contrary lies can’t stand in face of the wind and can’t go far.
and therein lies the fate of those trying repress the masses with censorship and misinformation ... it won't end well.
on a brighter note really enjoyed the conversation with hzrd149 and Bowman. only just discovering your stuff ....
think this could be another deep rabbit HOLE 🤔
Lying is a waste of time.
That’s where we learn it usually. At home. Then you have to unlearn it.
Super interesting and short read on this subject: 
Goodreads
Lying
As it was in Anna Karenina, Madame Bovary, and Othello,…
Lying about what
All lies are hard unless you’re an actor/actress
Yes.
I think about this quote a lot.
"Tell the truth. All the time. About everything. What’s the alternative to radical honesty? Waste. Wasted time, wasted money, wasted possibilities - a wasted life."
Brad Blanton
Great advice!
someone said "when you tell the truth, what happens next is the least bad reaction that would eventually happen"
and i try to live by that since
If only there were some kind of cryptocurrency blockchain that embodied this commitment.
