It seems to me, though, that if we did, we wouldn't care. Sure it would bother me if two people I work with whom I respect told me what they truly thought of me and it was incongruous with my expectation of what they thought of me. But I think if I found out what EVERYONE thought of me it would quickly stop caring. But I guess to your point, if that happened then structures of society would break down. Still, I'm not sure that would be a bad thing necessarily since at the very least we'd start being completely honest with one another. Kind of makes me thing of the movie The Invention Of Lying.
