Authenticity versus Transparency

  • sarahdopp: i wanna see a Venn Diagram that shows the differences and overlaps between "Authenticity" and "Transparency"
  • social-creature: "authenticity" is about relevance, "transparency" is about defensiveness. the overlap is accidental and uncorrelated.
  • sarahdopp: that is brilliant. can i quote you on that?
  • social-creature: yup. and also: http://social-creature.com/sustained-mystery-vs-radical-transparency
  • sarahdopp: ooh! thank you! totally relevant to what i'm up to today! love it!
  • social-creature: nice! something else to think about is that in certain communities being "authentic" to that culture means NOT being transparent: hipsters.
