Hello guys! Happy February! New month, new goals.
Our society does have noble lies. For example, society wants us to "go to college, get good grades, get a high paying job, get married, be happy, and have kids". Plato has Socrates draw a difference between a lie, which leads to "ignorance in the soul". In that case, I do not agree with the noble lies because society tells us that everyone should "be happy". I believe everyone has their own plans and perspectives on the community itself.
It's interesting that a perfectly just society needs to lie to its citizens!
