The fine art of fibbing | Athena Kugblenu

This episode of TED Talks Daily features a comedic talk by Athena Kugblenu about lying. She explores the necessity of lying, distinguishing between acceptable and unacceptable lies, and introduces the concept of "fib literacy." Kugblenu uses humorous examples from daily life, such as telling a bride you love her hideous dress or lying to children to get them to brush their teeth, to illustrate her points. She suggests asking "who will benefit?" to determine the morality of a lie, advocating for resilience to deception and humorously reflecting on the greatest moment of her life. The episode also includes an advertisement for HubSpot and a promo for the TED Radio Hour.
