The Science of Lying
Lately I have noticed an uptick in one niche of entertainment that I will call the “Grifter Docudrama”. It’s all about lies – but not just one-off lies, lies that are perpetuated for years, catapult people to success, and then once they are found out, are torn down and shamed by society. What is more intriguing than the virtue-signaling is the key mistakes these characters, real and fictional, made. If they had lied more strategically, or quit while they were ahead, they may never have been exposed. It’s now all about “telling your truth” – and that is a very grey area in today’s society.
