If We Could Only Tell The Truth

    Watched that film "The Invention of Lying" recently, with Ricky Gervais. Made me wonder, what would the world be like if we could only tell the truth all the time?? I have two questions:

    1. If you could only tell the truth, what would you end up saying to OH/Boss/Friends?

    2. If, like Ricky Gervais, you knew how to lie, but everyone else only knew how to tell the truth, what would you do with that power?

    There was a Jim Carrey movie with this premise. Can't remember the title. Thing the twilight zone also did a segment where no one could lie.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.
