The first step in clearing your head is to realize how far you are
from a neutral observer. When I left high school I was, I thought,
a complete skeptic. I'd realized high school was crap. I thought
I was ready to question everything I knew. But among the many other
things I was ignorant of was how much debris there already was in
my head. It's not enough to consider your mind a blank slate. You
have to consciously erase it.

Adults lie constantly to kids. I'm not saying we should stop, but I think we should at least examine which lies we tell and why.
There may also be a benefit to us. We were all lied to as kids, and some of the lies we were told still affect us. So by studying the ways adults lie to kids, we may be able to clear our heads of lies we were told.

One of the most remarkable things about the way we lie to kids is
how broad the conspiracy is. All adults know what their culture
lies to kids about: they're the questions you answer "Ask
your parents." If a kid asked you who won the World Series in 1982
or what the atomic weight of carbon was, you could just tell him.
But if a kid asks you "Is there a God?" or "What's a prostitute?"
you'll probably say "Ask your parents." - 1 more annotations...
