Why should I care about truth? I think kindness and wisdom are more important for making good decisions. Sure, truth has its place, like with medical decisions and climate policy. But it doesn’t need to infect every aspect of our lives. I don’t care about truth when I go to the movies and watch a red metal man punch a big purple man.
Yes, yes, I already said truth is good for medical decisions. I just don’t think it needs to be crammed into every aspect of our lives. Sometimes people just want a break from truth.

Because truth allows us to cure awful, painful and debilitating diseases, for one? Need more examples, or…?
Oh ok, so we just turn off the part of our brain that cares about truth for what benefit exactly?
