Pamela Meyer Lies about Lying

Pamela Meyer values objective truth. She uses big words like “marginalize” and “hotspots” to con you into thinking that by being able distinguish falsehoods from the concrete truth, your entire perception of reality will begin to shift and you will reach some internal zenith that transcends the blissful ignorance of our consumer culture where everything is public and nothing is sacred. Overall, this is one of the more utilitarian (Boylan, you dog) TED Talks I’ve patronized, but it’s an egregious disappointment that she tries to justify her lie-spotting talent with sentimental folderol about a better world. There’s no better world for me, Pamela Meyer. And if I can’t have a better world, no one can.
