Most people think honesty is simply about telling the truth. It’s much more than that.
AJ sits down with philosopher and ethics professor Christian Miller to explore why honesty is becoming harder in the age of AI, social media, and online influence. From cheating with AI and fake news to white lies, self-deception, and accountability, Christian explains why honesty isn't just about what we say—it's about the motivations behind our actions and the habits that shape our character.
This conversation explores the psychology of dishonesty, why good people still lie, when honesty should give way to compassion, and the practical steps anyone can take to build more trust in their relationships, work, and everyday life.
