Hello
Everyone
I'm welcome back to happy hour
Today we have in our studio tj again
And he will bring us some interesting stories about philosophy
Hi Tj
Hi nice to be back
So tj
What are we going to talk about today
Today we're going to talk about lies
Have you ever lied to anyone
Luler
Of course
I have hawe't never lied
I've never lied in my life life
I've never lied anyanylife
It just don't believe you
I think that is the biggest lie in the world to today
That i have never lied to anyone
I'm very pure of hei
I'm very very honest person 就很纯洁哈
But i don't believe you anyway
Tj
Because i know you anyhow so is this
We're going to talk about today
Lies right
Lilies a very interesting when pete studies have been done about this
There was a very large study in the readers digest
Where they found the ninety three percent of people recorded dishonesty work or school
School or in business
And ninety six percent of people said they lift people they care about their family and their friends
So that's a lot
Lot of lying
A actually when we consider we normally think of lying as bad
We tell children don't lie
Don't kill people
Don't steal
Well we won't still or kill people
But we lie ourselves despite the fact
We tell our children
Our students do not lie
So that is contradiction
Yeah
Let's get back to the very beginning of this topic
What is the definition of lie or lies
Well
You know philosophers like to argue about things a lot
But let's just keep it straightforward for this
And say lying has two parts number one
It's intentional you do on purpose
And the second part is that you want to misrepresent something
So you have a belief in your head
About the way
The world is
And you tell somebody something else on purpose
所以一个要素是要是你故意的
就不是无意
而是故意的intentional
第二个是要miss interpretation
So it's not the truth 是by the way you know that in court
You watch court room drama 这个法庭句的时候
You hear they take a nose
And they say i will speak the whole truth and nothing
But the truth so my question is if i have only told part of the truth and left something out
Would that considered a lie
Because technically i did not lie
I did not give you any false information
Right
This is what we call a i of a mission
Where you admit something
You don't say something
You should have said so you're still misrepresenting what happened you're still not giving people a clear
A itcher of exactly what the relevant information is so that is still a lie
Preprethigh standard is no wonder
So many people have lied
By the way is that a human specific behavior are anmans
The only animals that lie
No animals can like too there's been cases of appes like gorillas that lie
When they do something that they know is bad
Somebody asks them did you do that
And then they will point at somebody else since they know
But supposome did it
所以大猩猩也会撒谎
还不光是人类的一个行为
嗯
But i'm sure
Today we're not talking about
Are we lying or not because like you said most of us lie
You said you don't lie
But don't
Don't believe
I think you still do exact what are we going to focus on today um
What we're going to talk k about eethics of lies
Should we lie
And when should we lie
And how should we lie
If at all some people would say don't lie
And some people think it's not very a big problem at all um i'm sure
They're different schools of thoughts
Different perspectives in the field of phoosopy
Different phphooopopers have very different attitudes towards line
Should we lie
Should we not right
I will going to start with can't ant
He has a very strstrong opinion
That lying is against the law of reason
If you think about it
Then you would realize that we should just never ever lie
When you lie to somebody
You take away that rationality
Because they don't have the ability to make it informed decision right
And you take away the dignity
When you lie to them
That it's something
It's a kind of abuse for i
When you can al something from somebody
And i'm a bit curious
You said it's against the law of reason 就是是违反这种理性的
So it's not about whether it's the right thing to the whether it's um ethical or not
But it's more about logic
It's more about rationality
嗯
Right so can't is completely rational
He thinks that we can make rules
We think think about lologicwe we can make rules
And he thinks if everybody lies when it's convenient for them 的the whole idea a talking king to each other and communicating just breadown i
That we do damage to ourselves
And we do damage to the community
It doesn't make sense
It's not logical to lie
嗯
所以康德是说绝对不要撒谎的
So no exceptions
What soever even in really specific situations
Where lying is actually good the x murderer example is good case of how far can't will go not to lie
嗯
What is that
The example is hiding in your house
Unless say you hiding in your house
Because braad wants to kill you
Because wants to come and attack you with an acts
嗯
Braad comes to my house
And he says isluluu hiding in your bedroom
And i say yes
Why would you give me out
Like that she's upstairs second door on the left
Well that's what kamp says
He says that is law just like plus one equals too it doesn't matter
If it's convenient or if you're on the moon or under the sea
Whatever the circumstances
The rules are always the same for cancant
And he says that he would tell the truth
Because that's what you should do in that situation um so completely rational no emotions
Whathowever sounds like cold
Right Red
And many people think kind is a bit
Robotic yeah very cold
But what are some of the other perspectives
So another perspective is the consequentialist
Perspective
Consequentialist 这个叫结果论
Is all about what happens as a result
嗯
And they would say don't think about the rules
And don't think about it
You can use logic
But we use this to think about what happen in the future
And usually yytaltalabout happhappiness
So we can lie as long as the results
嗯
Are much better than lying
And we also have to think about whether we would be exposed or not of course
Because if you lie
And then someone finds out that you've lie
That can be not so great as well
The consequence wouldn't be so so good
Actually sounds like a very pragmatic or even uulitarian editde only 主意the 这样的一个态度
For instance people who cheat on their partners a lot of them
They cheap not because they won't hurt their partners
It's because they believe they're not onna get caught
And there are some people even saying things like it's not cheating
If you don't get caught
It's that sort of like they're looking for any wthilof of cheating
While they think they won't get caught
So they won't be any bad consequences
Because
Because people sound ound a ve it short sighted to me
Um
Because i mean every criminal in prison
They all think that they won't get caught
People like heavy winsteam
They all think they
They all think they get away with it
Until they don't you know
嗯
