My son Patrick says that people don't like the truth, they just want to be entertained. Especially when the truth is bad. I predict he's going to be a great marketer. Understands human behavior better than I do a lot of times.

Knowledge of how people can me manipulated can also be used for good.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Rah, that is the way of the dark side. It will consume and use you as you think you are using it.
- Todd Hoff
Knowledge is power. Power corrupts. Therefore, having knowledge of anything gives you power, which can end up corrupting you. The secret ingredient, I think, is fear. As long as you can control that, you can balance along the edge of the darkside instead of getting swallowed by it.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
Famous Jack Nicholson Line comes to mind " You Cant Handle The Truth "
- johnpiercy
The force that controls fear is the light side. The force that feeds fear is the dark side.
- Todd Hoff
My take would be: People don't like the truth when that parcel of truthiness might mean A) Accepting it entails pressure to change a comfortable habit, B) The Risk/Reward of embracing it is not clear cut or C) You'd rather be happy than right. I could go on, but then my hope for entertainment value would completely evaporate. Anyway, this may be interesting: http://www.philosophytalk.org/pastSho...

I don't think it makes it okay. People should be able to face life, be mature, responsible, etc..... but your son IS very smart. Make him be a politician instead.
- Patricia
the truth is hate to those who hate the truth.
- Jens Christian Freund
It takes a lot of effort to acknowledge and deal with the truth if the truth is not pleasant. Most people don't want to make that effort if it is at all uncomfortable for them. Entertainment is usually pleasurable and when it is an alternative to an uncomfortable truth people prefer it. Patrick has great observational skills. :)
- Fa La La La Lindsay
Nice one, Patrick! Marketing is an excellent career, I just wish there were more marketers that faced the truth rather than trying to spin things.
- Sally Church
I think Americans are experts at denial. From slavery to the cold war, Vietnam to Iraq, we've got a lot of truth we'd rather not think about. There's a shiny Jetsons future from the 50s that we'd rather believe, and anything you can say that suggests an alternate path is called for is insulting to it. "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all". While everyone's giving "advice" to Patrick mine would be: stick with the truth, to heck with marketing.
- Jason Wehmhoener
People can't really handle the truth a lot of times. If you tell them the truth usually they get very defensive, because they don't want to see what really is going on. I have had that experience a couple of times when someone told me that I was hanging out with the wrong people, and I got pissed that them, but later found out they were right.
- Molly, "sorry"
I think there are a lot of countries that have been historically engaged in rewriting history because they can't handle the truth. To think that this is just an American trait is just blind stupidity. It's human nature. Looks like your son has given up on the soap box and the ballot box.
- Ernie Oporto
Robert - actually something worse: if your Son did NOT know the truth - that is worse! Seriously, I think I would WANT my 14 year old to speak the truth as Patrick does... that mean's he's intelligent, able to discern truth from error and is not intimidated to speak his mind... these are all fantastic attributes for a young adult to acquire!! CONGRATULATIONS Robert, you did a great job of raising him well! :) Now the tricky part is being able to deal with it when he opens his mouth and speaks the truth!
- Susan Beebe
Susan (and everyone): thanks, yeah, Patrick is pretty smart about things. I love that he was arguing about porn and censorship with the FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein. He'll do just fine in life. Politics? We'll see if he takes to that, I don't sense that he's interested in that yet.

Jesse McPherson liked this
season 4 has been the best so far
- Jesse McPherson
I checked it out briefly but it seems kinda pointless with ubiquity
- Jesse McPherson
I really only bookmarked it to check it out later. ubiquity is for sure cool, but in all honesty, they just moved enzo to the browser. (not that this is a bad thing)
- Andrew Gwozdziewycz
have you seen laterloop? Its what I've been using for my "read later" bookmarking. Back to ubiquity, saying "they just moved enso to the browser" seemingly underplays what a huge move it is. I think we will see some interesting things come of it.
- Jesse McPherson
I wasn't trying to underplay ubiquity. I know how big a deal it is to move that sort of project into firefox. But, basically, if you look at the old Enso demos, it's doing the exact same thing as the default ubiquity does. The question now is, does it make sense to make "enso" browser only, or use it globally? Seems like I might want to add a map to a word document (if I used such a thing), you dig?
- Andrew Gwozdziewycz
I dig, I wasn't thinking that far ahead I suppose.
