Cool article, but it doesn't have a "real life" application.
Why?
Not everyone is going to react the same way. There is absolutely no reason to start being brutally honest unless everyone is going to take it the same way. If we could "wipe the slate clean," start new with the way society is today, I definitely think we should go with the brutally honest system. But in today's world, it just wouldn't work.
It would literally get people killed.
Your coworker says, "hey, do you like my new hair?"
"no, it looked much better before. In fact, it makes you look down right unattractive right now."
The end. You never speak to that coworker again. They might even take it to their boss.
You just can't go and do shit like this. It's a fantastic idea if everyone had a level head and could take it without going apeshit. I can see many good relationships that are built on white lies unraveling. Not everything that is built on white lies is bad.
