#38: There is Skill to This Strategy
It really does depend what your goal is here. If your goal is to avoid conflict then you’re probably going in the right direction but if you want to put other people where you want them you’re going to have to put in a little bit more effort or you’ll end up being blown about by the wind.

And although it’s seemingly solid advice I don’t know if I can really support a no-lying strategy. Lying is an important part of human evolution, it keeps us safe and happy, it protects our lives and our relationships and while it can probably be somewhat minimized, avoiding it altogether seems unwise.
