Can you name even one example of a situation where it was better to give misinformation?
Yup, “White lie” is one example.
Suppose your friend rolls up with a fresh haircut that looks like they lost a bet, but u don’t wanna crush their soul cuz let’s face it, the damage is already done and there’s no CTRL+Z for bad barber decisions. In this case, it’s better to hit em with some top-tier misinformation like, ‘Bro, you’re looking sharp! That cut’s got main character energy!’ rather than admitting they look like a potato.
certainly none. its like learning things wrong is horrible as its way harder to correct yourself than learn it the first time. Similarly the more you lie or spread mistruth the harder it will be to discern truth yourself.
Let me rephrase that: Is it better to lie or say nothing at all?
If you know it’s false, it’s called disinformation.
You can state the information you believe to be correct with a disclaimer, that it may be incorrect.
