@SamHarrisOrg @jimmykimmel You taught them:
1. You should not take candy so seriously;
2. You should take everyone's words w/ grain of salt.

@lmldias You didn't teach them 1 (because they can't possibly feel that way). And you taught them 2 with respect yourself (i.e. lost trust) -
@SamHarrisOrg 1) Of course they take candy too seriously;2) You deal with trust as if we are behind a kind of a Turing Test. That's so silly -
@SamHarrisOrg Kids should learn the subtle ways we humans communicate. And that include jokes. And teases. And tricks. -
@lmldias There's no need to lie to teach kids that ppl sometimes lie. Like you don't punch to teach that ppl can be violent.@SamHarrisOrg -
@kjevol@SamHarrisOrg the world isn't binary. It does not divide between "TRUTH" and "LIE". Subtleness isn't taught if you only do the first -
@lmldias@kjevol@SamHarrisOrg So many ways to teach kids to understand subtlety in life, none req vid w/ mess your pain is entertainment -
@sbuehler@kjevol@SamHarrisOrg I agree that videotaping your kids crying as a form of entertainment is borderline evil. - 1 more reply

@SamHarrisOrg I told them we ate all their candy (did not film it), but they just laughed and said they knew we’d never do that. I’m proud!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@SamHarrisOrg@jimmykimmel The absolute best we can deduce is that an encouraging percentage of children display rational reactions to this.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
