This calls to mind Sam Harris's contribution to a collection of essays called "This Will Change Everything, Ideas That Will Shape the Future," in which each contributor was asked to explain a single change in the way we live that would alter absolutely everything going forward. Harris, a neuroscientist with the Reason Project, said , "Imagine how our world would change if, when the truth really mattered, it became impossible to lie." He want on to explain that mind-reading is rather far off but reliable lie detection is not so far off and would radically alter all of our lives. And it must be affordable and unintrusive. If we only had such a thing think of all that would be avoided, the Iraq War, Qanon conspiracy theories, the selling of bad investments, and Donald J. Trump and those of his ilk who use lies to gain power. With Trump the pity is that he's not a good liar, but he's found enough traitors predisposed to believe the baloney he and his co-conspirators have run through the right wing media meat grinder. Gen. Grant would say the same thing today, Tom, and he wouldn't be lying.
Everything chump has ever said, I mean everything, has been so stupid that I was sure only a few certifiable idiots would buy the crap. Then I watched as so many lapped it up. They had been softened up by the horrors of W/Dickie and the onslaught of lies about Obama. Not going to hold my breath waiting for Sam Harris’ “impossible to lie world;” mind reading would put me in severe jeopardy as my thoughts are way more vicious than my words.

We try based on circumstance, and in reaction to what entropy dealt us as a life.
This. is. lovely.
