What this blog is all about...

A friend of mine told me about this book a few months back and I still haven't read it yet: Radical Honesty. Then this article on Captain Jack's blog reminds me of it, and it was a fun read! If everyone was more honest toward each other, then we can skip the bullshit and get back to being humans. This fits well with something I've been thinking about... how people hide their insecurities instead of revealing them for what they are, as vulnerabilities. The former is creepy and the latter is surprisingly attractive, to girls!

great concept, but very very very idealistic.

what is "truth" exactly anyway? a lot of the stuff that the author shows as examples of him implementing this "radical honesty" thing is more impulsive than anything.

the example of the old man, while extreme, is also the sort of thing where truth and falsehood break down into an ethical mess.

and... yeah, blanton sounds like a retard. the ending is especially ironic.
