EP 3: Why do we believe lies?

  • Summary

  • Honesty is a core value in most cultures. But humanity has always been obsessed with untruths, from little white lies to vast conspiracy theories. Bill and Rashida are joined by Sapiens author and historian Yuval Noah Harari to talk about why we’re so willing to believe falsehoods and what these lies tell us about ourselves—both as individuals and as a society.

Thought provoking episode

Understanding lies versus fiction and thinking about corporations and ideologies as fictions was for me edifying. I love the Rashida / Bill dynamic and this guest was fascinating.
