Lies We Tell Ourselves: Crime & Punishment | Library Circus #14

Dishonesty is more complex than the black and white moral lessons we learned as kids.  "Don't lie" isn't enough to combat a more damaging but subtle kind of lie: self-deception.     Crime and Punishment is popularly analyzed for its argument against nihilism, but Dostoevsky's perspective on dishonesty is just as powerful and insightful.   ◬ In this episode:    ⋗ Word of the podcast: Recrimination ⋗ Lying distorts reality and degrades your judgment   ⋗ Hidden intentions in political arguments ⋗ Salomé's anti advertisement ⋗ Constructive vs destructive delusion ⋗ Dostoevsky's perspective on lying and morality     ◬ Book Mentioned: <a href='https://amzn.to/3OFDZDW'>Crime and Punishment</a>    ◬ Listen to the podcast via: <ul class="public-DraftStyleDefault-ul"><li class="public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-reset public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR" style="text-align:center;"> <a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/0os9rvFzt9EyjPzman9Wjf?si=4izCTGmoSh-sMs0qcqWJ_g'>Spotify</a> </li> <li class="public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR" style="text-align:left;"> <a href='https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/3dff262e-dfc9-43f2-99d8-9889c8212e15/SILVER-EYE-SOCIETY'>Amazon</a> </li> <li class="public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR" style="text-align:left;"> <a href='http://tun.in/pkgRs'>Tune-In</a> </li> <li class="public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR" style="text-align:left;"> <a href='https://silvereyesociety.podbean.com/'>Podbean</a> </li> <li class="public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR"> <a href='https://feed.podbean.com/silvereyesociety/feed.xml'>Apple</a> </li> </ul>
