There are probably just as many lies going around now as there ever were, but these days they're traveling at the speed of lightand with the help of an engine for repetition that works on a scale unheard of in human history.The lies stick. People are still sending around that talk, saying it was written by Kurt Vonnegut.All right. So big deal, you may be thinking.You may be thinking it's just afew jokes about youth and beauty and trivial things.But think about it. It could be selling you anything.It could be a cult religion that could separate you from friends and family or a quack medicine that could leave you paralyzed,or bogus political information that could decide an election.Being able to know what's true and what's a lie is a lot harder to do now, harder than ever before.And so now, more than ever, you need the wisdom of a trusted partner or a friend or a mentor, somebody who can remind you of what counts.
