The Art of Honesty, Tuesday 4th Period
Luckily for the class, Aphra seemed less hungover today.
Unluckily for the class, Aphra seemed less hungover today.
"So after careful consideration, I've decided to ease you guys into things," she said. "By leading a discussion on when is it considered not just not not wrong to lie, but good, or even desirable. The one that crops up the most is usually called tact." Something Aphra was mostly familiar with in its absence.
"See tact is those little white lies that keep the gears of society greased, help stop us all punching the guy next to us in the face because he said you looked funny, or that that last time you heard such self-serving, insane troll logic was when you were dumb enough to watch senate question time. When there was still a senate at least."
"So a little exercise today. We're going to pretend you're at a party, and you have to tell a guest that his toupee looks like something died on his head. Only if you actually say that, he's probably going to try to murder you. So break it to him gentle. Work in pairs if you want."
