    As I grew up, I was taught to be factual, accurate, and helpful

    All of that has made my life much harder

    Teach your kids to lie, teach them that people want to take adavantage of them, and teach them how not to get caught up in that.

    People aren’t convinced with facts, they are convinced with resonating emotional appeals.

    Teach your kids so they don’t get crippled by the disadvantage of pathological honesty

      Simplified version:

      Teach your kids emotional intelligence. Everything follows from there.

      If you don’t know emotional intelligence… well shit, you need to go out more, socialize, live a little.
