Interesting perspective but I disagree.

Lies subvert your own truth.

A lie might save your life but you have to ask yourself the question if that is a life worth living.

I'd rather die on my feet than to live on my knees.

I think you are wrong. When the police, on orders from Christine Logard, come after me, I will not ask you to hide, I will not ask you to lie to the police. Because hiding a bitcoiner means living on your knees. I could suggest that you not reduce ethics to an abstract rule, but differentiate it and follow different rules according to the situation: distinguish situations when lying is justified and when it is not. I could. But I will not have time for that, because the police are chasing me. Your ethics condemn my lies and Jerome Powell's lies equally. I hide my property from the government and lie to it. Powell lies to millions of people and robs them. If I accept your ethics, I will fall on my knees. I would rather stand proudly on my feet.

Good Answer! I will dwell on that.
