Elizabeth Holmes: The psychology of a liar

One of the points to emphasize here is that this video isn't just picking on Elizabeth Holmes. In order to see why, you have to watch all of the video.

For example, lying is more commonplace than believed. It gets worse from there. By the time you slog your way through, maybe you'll feel the way I have come to feel. Which is to say, you really have to have a passion for truth, and zero tolerance for lies. Otherwise, you'll helpless to the power of the lie.

Here's a thing you might consider also to keep in mind. The video will show you why there may be times when you'll lie anyway, even if you don't want to, or intend to. Finally, nobody considers themselves to be dishonest. We'll lie to ourselves too! Oh, hell yeah.











6:29 PM, Update a little later:

A Ted Talk about a young whistleblower who may have been instrumental at ending the fraud at Theranos. She gets cheers from the audience at the talk. Well, I hope that that is a good sign, but what I see is a whole lot of people in society want to keep their heads in the sand. Maybe those in that Ted Talk are cheering only because she won her fight. What if she lost?
