Great essay, and I don't really disagree, but some examples or anecdotes might be helpful. What kind of lies are we talking about? Telling a 200 pound women that she's beautiful? Misrepresentations on a resume? Not providing full transparency to government agencies? Claiming you read the terms and conditions? Different lies have different impacts.

I would say the big one is presenting a false version of yourself to friends and family. Lying about a covid vaccine in order to not put poison in your body doesn’t fall under my definition of self destructive. Though if you’re in a position where you have to lie about it in order to survive maybe it’s better to tell the truth about not taking it and let tha truth reshape your world.
