    Finally, someone said it. He’s too honest for his own good. He doesn’t lie; the people around him do. He just repeats what he’s told and what he believes. He flipflops his opinions and plans every 2 seconds because that’s how long it takes to convince him or a new idea. He doesn’t have the mental capacity to lie.

      The reality is that nobody can reliably assess what he believes or doesn’t believe. Maybe he believes his own bullshit, maybe not. But it’s still bullshit regardless, and his culpability is the same either way.

      Maybe not anymore, but he used to lie like it was going out of style. If his brain wasn’t mush, he would be lying. Now he just repeats whatever the nearest person to him has said.
