THE CHALLENGES TO OVERCOME IN SPEAKING THE TRUTH
It is extremely difficult to speak the truth if you do not know it.
It is much harder if you do not know how truthful statements are constructed.
It is even harder if you must face uncomfortable realities when you try.
It is harder still if you are not taught how they are constructed, because of the consequences of uncomfortable truths.
It is much harder if you are indoctrinated into comforting lies.
It is most difficult when lying institutionalized in political and legal systems.
It is nearly impossible when lies are institutionalized in your religion, philosophy, metaphysics and norms.
Truth telling is costly. Truth telling is difficult. Truth telling is frequently undesirable. Truth telling is a disadvantage to power.
That the west invented and institutionalized truth telling is as extraordinary as it has been beneficial.

Women are more likely to feel charitable. But men and women are equally likely to act charitably. I have to read more about it.

http://m.huffpost.com/ca/entry/6897176In Propertarianism we would disassemble this as “Tribes require their own countries, so that they can insulate themselves from signal competition, status competition, normative competition, political competition, institutional competition, economic competition, and so they can can negotiate trade barriers to neutralize productive differences.”
I agree. But I agree despite the demonstrated superiority of my people that arises from their ability to produce high trust, and nearly eliminate corruption.

Roman keeps telling me that I must go to the children’s play area if I can’t behave like an adult.
Adulthood is seriously overrated.
Celebrate your inner child.
Often;
I look ten years younger than I am because I think like a I am a teenager.
Life rocks.
Revel in it.
