> And instantly wondered how in a society that puts Truth on such a high pedestal, such companies still exist, are allowed to exist and are even praised. That one is easy: If you're a society that really puts the ability to tell good lies on a pedestal, you can easily lie to yourself that you only value the truth. And I do think some revelation of lies and liars is widespread, otherwise we wouldn't talk so positive about "hustle culture", "fake it till you make it" etc or idolise people like P.T.Barnum, Gordon Gekko or Donald Trump. (Not that I think we're worse than other societies here)
