I watched a movie last night. Kind of old - 12 years - but it was still interesting. The Invention of Lying with Ricky Gervais. Very interesting concept. Basically no one could lie. Not because they were stopped from doing it, but because no one knew how. It wasn't a thing. Their brains just didn't know how to lie. The one thing I thought was off though was the lack of filters. Just because you can't lie doesn't mean you have to volunteer information. Regardless, the premise was interesting. What I found most notable was when the main character does tell the first lie, it directly contradicts information displayed on a screen to someone else. But unlike our world where people love to say "but the computer says this and it's not wrong", they trust the HUMAN to be right and assume the machine made the mistake. Imagine how different the world would be if that was the norm. More trust in people and less in machines. Interesting, eh?
Spent the majority of the day updating materials. Did a webinar for 200 people. Made seafood crepes for dinner.
Today is groceries, bills, therapy, docs, done. Let the shit show begin.
