@npub18lzl...ugm3 and @Stuart Bowman touch privacy and radical honesty but I think they missed a crucial point - radical honesty requires anonymity and privacy. They are not the opposite sides of one coin - one requires the other, at least in this stage of human society. One could argue that assassination markets, or their product - assassination politics is the purest expression of radical honesty. View quoted note →

Depends on the audience and the topic. I think what Stuart refers to is more about fighting the demons inside that make us lie unconsciously.
> radical honesty requires anonymity and privacy In a political context, yes. When dealing with strangers, security is a precondition for honesty. Maybe it's a bit more complex when considering the interpersonal or even "intra-personal" dimension.
