If you are just want to discus ideas, keep out words like I.

Don't say: "But I will implore you to do one thing: accept other people's right to lie to you."

Say: "Here are reasons why you might profit from accept other people's right to lie to you."

Maybe even: "Here are reasons why a person might profit from accept other people's right to lie to them"
