Should Be Known

C. Terry Warner, a philosophy professor at Brigham Young University until his retirement, has made unprecedented strides in the area of self-deception, especially as it relates to social interactions. I have seen no one else treat his subject better. Studying self-deception without talking about Terry Warner would be a little like studying physics without talking about Einstein. I am greatly indebted to him for my knowledge in this area and will forever be grateful I was ever able to study under him.

If there is a God and if His kingdom is on the earth, then it follows that if we act against His word or His anointed, we must of necessity justify our behavior, according to my theory (that we justify ourselves through self-deception whenever we go against the truth). The word becomes less valid and the anointed of God become less authoritative to us. In my growing up life I observed what seemed to me to be clear self-justification/self-deception of this type. I think it helped me be extra cautious of it in myself, and served as further evidence of the truth. For why would we act as if we were justifying ourselves, unless there was something true we were acting against?

This is going to be quite the podcast. As I write this I have 9 episodes recorded. They contain the clearest and most correct treatment of self-deception that I know of, and to me self-deception is a great missing key to psychology. I'm excited to share it with you and trust we will receive more knowledge and understanding as we continue on this journey.

My methodology is a little different in that am seeking truth from sources way outside traditional psychology, but I believe that is where the gold is.

I hope you enjoy and maybe benefit from these ideas, and I invite you to participate if you'd like by commenting or emailing.

This first episode is just a short introduction to me as the creator of the podcast.
