Lies We Tell Kids

Paul Graham's May essay is Lies We Tell Kids.

Adults lie constantly to kids. I'm not saying we should stop, but I think we should at least examine which lies we tell and why.

There may also be a benefit to us. We were all lied to as kids, and some of the lies we were told still affect us. So by studying the ways adults lie to kids, we may be able to clear our heads of lies we were told.

Interesting. It's a long, thoughtful essay.
