The Honest Truth about Dishonesty: RSA Animate Version.
Oct

I’m excited to share the RSA Animate version of my latest book. I love this approach to sharing research, first and foremost because I love the visual metaphors the artist uses to demonstrate ideas (particularly the blend of Sherlock Holmes as the Rational Man, and fairy tales as the opposite). Many of them are just brilliant. Second, who wouldn’t prefer to watch a cartoon version of a person (in this case, me) explain something rather than the real thing? It’s so much more engaging, and who doesn’t miss Saturday morning cartoons?
I was pretty thrilled to make the cut to be in an RSA: I hope you enjoy it as well.
The Honest Truth About Dishonesty: How We Lie to Everyone - Especially Ourselves
Love the video! very classy. And I will eventually buy an actual copy of the book, but I prefer reading them first and then adding the ones I like to my collection.
Still waiting for an audio copy,
Sincerely,

Dear Dan,
The way the video is done is a combination of both good cartoon drawing and imagination in interpreting your ideas. My question is if you target with it a special segment of population. Am not a native English speaker so here is my experience about: I felt a bit absorbed by your speach speed ovelapped with all those nice drawings. Made me feel that I have forgot some important ideas along the way. Worth to mention that I’ve already read your latest book and somehow putting these two in balance (book and cartoon) found the book easier to rumigate and in same time more helping to ponder on ideas. Because there are plenty.
Regards,
George
Awesome! I had the opportunity to listen Dan in Peru about the same topic and it was easy to understand, but the cartoons approach can even make my grandmother understand the findings and the problems.
I am looking to read book.
Fantastic! But what IS the old crone putting in the pot? Dan, I really enjoyed this; congratulations! I have been trying to think about what aspects of our work (safety) are actually incentives to cheat (or take risks), so that we can focus on your recommendation to change incentives vs thinking we have to change people. Very interesting.
That was brilliant. Thank you.
Dan, if you coud read this series of article about the economy of digital goods : http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070503/012939.shtml
Because maybe you are right, and justifying illegal downloads is just some sort of dishonesty rationalization, and maybe it’s the other way around, and expecting remuneration from every infinite goods is rather some sort of cognitive bias on the authors side?
Aside from this particular point, I really enjoy your point of view on human behavior. Thanks for all the wisdom
awesome video i think i am very special to have the opportunity to see.
