As I grew up, I was taught to be factual, accurate, and helpful

All of that has made my life much harder

Teach your kids to lie, teach them that people want to take adavantage of them, and teach them how not to get caught up in that.

People aren't convinced with facts, they are convinced with resonating emotional appeals.

Teach your kids so they don't get crippled by the disadvantage of pathological honesty
