Top Comments of this video!! :3
People in the comments really don't seem to get it, the point of this scene was never that the San Ti don't understand the concept of lying or that they never lie themselves. It's that they normally don't have to fear lies since they can all read each others mind. A San Ti can never directly lie to another San Ti. What scared them isn't that Mike lied, it's that they couldn't tell that Mike was lying to them until he told them.

The symbolism in this scene is pretty brilliant to me. The story they chose isnāt just a throwaway. Little Red Riding Hood had no anxiety about the world she inhabited, and it became her downfall. She was safe in her domain, and never feared the predators that might lurk in the forest. Imagine a species that only has existential anxiety and dread over their planetās capacity to kill them.
We cannot even hope to understand what being āafraidā means for a species like that.

San Ti can't lie because of the way they communicate. don't want to spoil anything but when you realize how they communicate the concept of lying is impossible. only thing that never made sense in the book is that the San Ti can travel through space so they could have easily just left their own chaotic solar system and searched for another stable one.
