Effective Lies If we have several tequila shots, we won’t have a choice about whether we are under the influence. We will be. The same is true when we listen to lies. We will be influenced.

Our Packrat Brains Imagine a packrat’s room stacked full of old newspapers, boxes, and junk. The room isn’t useable because there’s so much unneeded and not useful stuff.
