Jordan B. Peterson argues that we must always tell the truth or at least not lie.  What does this suggest about the way in which Western society has evolved?  Are we a culture built on falsehoods?  Have we become a people too afraid to call it how it is?  It does not take long to see in the cacophony of arguments inundating the air waves, social media, and the like that people are usually dancing around the issue, whatever that may be.  A direct observation would be refreshing.  A refusal to submit to rules of conversation dictated by ideologues would be helpful.  Our voices should not be mere echoes of what somebody else says.  We should think on our own and say what we mean, not in coded language but in clear, honest language.
