#365: Ian Leslie - Is Lying An Inescapable Part Of Being Human?

My guest today is Ian Leslie, a writer on human behaviour and the author of books such as 'Born Liars' and 'Conflicted.'In this conversation, we discuss the nature of lying, its evolutionary significance, and its role in human intelligence. We explores how lying is an inherent part of human behavior and how it can be both beneficial and detrimental in social contexts. We also discuss the importance of disagreement and constructive argumentation in fostering intelligence and understanding as well as navigating political conversations and the need for open dialogue even in the face of differing opinions.Connect with us:⁠www.youtube.com/@FreedomPact (watch all of our content in video form)⁠https://freedompact.co.uk/newsletter​ www.Instagram.com/freedompactwww.twitter.com/freedompactpod Email: freedompact@gmail.com https://Tiktok.com/personaldevelopmentMore from Ian: https://www.ian-leslie.com/Timestamps:0:00 Intro01:00 Is Lying A Part Of Human Nature?12:00 Is Lying Always Immoral?17:00 Should We Embrace Disagreement?23:00 The Biggest Mistake People Make When Arguing27:30 How To Be Better At Arguing40:00 Navigating Political Disagreements44:20 Connect With Ian
