  Some context: The author is a writer, and his blog often covers both writing and the publishing industry. What he's getting at is that often we idealize our actions, and then act in ways that go against these ideals, thus the lying part. Most of the examples given are of this nature. The other part is that new technology is allowing these changes to happen sooner than people consciously perceive and internalize them. Thus, the author exhorts people to analyze their behavior, especially with regards to new technology, and to come to grips with it in a non-kneejerk manner.

    Yes, it's a pervasive problem. People have enough trouble with this, even in areas where things don't change rapidly. As someone who's lately steeped in science (vocationally) and skepticism (avocationally), I've had to confront some previously unexamined areas of my philosophy. Though I'm naturally more introspective than many, I must say it can be difficult at times. Despite being a writer, the author would do well to read your comment and learn from it. :)
