> A close review of Snowden's official employment records and submissions reveals a pattern of intentional lying. He claimed to have left Army basic training because of broken legs when in fact he washed out because of shin splints. He claimed to have obtained a high school degree equivalent when in fact he never did. He claimed to have worked for the CIA as a "senior advisor," which was a gross exaggeration of his entry-level duties as a computer technician. He also doctored his performance evaluations and obtained new positions at NSA by exaggerating his resume and stealing the answers to an employment test. In May 2013, Snowden informed his supervisor that he would be out of the office to receive treatment for worsening epilepsy. In reality, he was on his way to Hong Kong with stolen secrets.

What does any of that matter?

Why should I care what a serial exaggerator and liar computer technician thinks?

In this case he is not making factual claims. It is purely a philosophical discussion. You can agree or disagree with the content itself. But I don't think a person being a liar or not should necessarily stop you from interacting with their content. If you found out Plato or Aristotle often lied in their daily life would that stop you from reading their works?

That would be strange to me.
