Episode #002: Honesty is one of those virtues that everyone pays lip service to. From childhood, we are taught to tell the truth no matter what, as we are warned about the bad consequences of being caught lying.
Despite this, we've all fantasized at least once about the possible benefits of getting away with a lie. What's the worst that could happen by tweaking things a bit on your resume? Why not tell a white lie if that way you can avoid hurting others?
But is truth-telling all there is to honesty?
In this episode, we survey common attitudes towards honesty and explore why lying seems so tempting from time to time. The core of our discussion centers on how we understand honesty as such: what does it really mean to be honest, and what if everything we've been told about it is just wrong?
