    INTELLIGENCE AND DECEPTION

    Q: More intelligent children tend to be more deceptive—can you explain this?

    A: The experiment was simplicity itself. A child is asked to sit facing away from a box. The experimenter puts something in the box and says “Do not peek, do not peek” and then leaves the room. Most children peek. The experimenter returns and asks, “Did you peek?” Most children lie—but they do so the more frequently the brighter they are, as judged by a simple cognitive test. If your child is especially bright, he or she lies 100 percent of the time, slow 65 percent of the time. The same thing is true for health at birth. The healthier you are the more apt you are to lie 4 years later.

    RETALIATION IS THE TEST OF LYING, NOT INTENT.

    Retaliation is the test of whether you’ve stated a white vs grey or black lie. If someone will retaliate, or feel the need to retaliate, or be negatively disposed to you for your lie, then it’s not to be done. If the person will thank you for it, then it should be. If I am ever again in an ambulance, please tell me I will be fine because I need it. I will thank you for it.

    Paternal Lying: I lie to children – we all do to some degree – because they can’t understand the truth at times. I notice that I ‘lie’ pretty often by giving people partial information just so that I don’t have to give them a full explanation – for the simple purpose of saving time, energy, and patience. I notice that if people are treating me dishonestly, or stupidly, i let them believe what they want, rather than correct them or challenge them – to save effort and stress. When I was young in business during the Yuppie era I engaged in misdirection. When I negotiate I engage in misdirection to gain access to information. But in general I try to avoid immoral OUTCOMES, and to produce moral outcomes. This is a form of paternalism that is in fact, dishonest. Yet I am not sure it is immoral. I have very few things I regret in life and many of them are before I made a rather dramatic change in my own outlook and decided to invest in teaching people instead of outwitting them. I have a few regrets in business not because I was dishonest, but because I was simply wrong and it appeared I was dishonest. Usually I do the opposite: hold the moral high ground at all costs, even to my detriment. But that does not prevent one from engaging in outcome ethics rather than rule or virtue ethics. Hence, paternal lying: when there exists and asymmetry of understanding, knowledge and ability, such that higher moral purpose is preserved by use of knowledge than by adherence to virtue or deontological rules.

    (Interesting. first draft. I haven’t worked through that idea before.)

    IT’S NOT A FALLACY, IT’S A DECEIT. (First Draft)

    Working through Rallying and Shaming (which are threats of non-cooperation), through the techniques used against the west, if not against all humans.

    I come up with this hierarchy as a first draft.

    1) Gossiping, Shaming, Rallying (Threatening with non-cooperation)

    2) Loading, Framing, Overloading (Saturation)

    3) Distraction, Half-Truth/Suggestion, Big Lie (Substitution overloading)

    4) Magic, Monotheism, Pseudoscience (loaded and framed big lie)

    5) Interpersonal, Square/Pulpit/Podium, Media (overloaded big lie)

    6) State, Academy and School, Entertainment and Media

    All of which are attacks on the subconscious to force the application of pathological altruism, rather than reason and skepticism.

The first question of ethics is: “Why do we not kill others?” Only because productivity is superior if we cooperate. But Parasitism is Not Cooperation, it is predation. Hence if we don’t benefit from cooperation it’s foolish to practice it. And if we do not practice cooperation then the rational choice is ostracization – and if parasitic, then conquest – but not Tolerance. So if man or woman will not take and adhere to the oath, and survive the test of adhering to it, we must shun or kill them. This is truth said, truth reasoned, and truth acted. Leave no man alive who engages in theft or deception. And when the world is clean, leaving only speakers of the truth, then we shall be gods in name, actions and genes.

  • Q&A: Did You Ever Think That Lying Makes Life Beautiful?

    —“Curt Doolittle , did you ever think about the fact that truth is boring and lying (telling stories) makes the life beautiful? You have to be talented in order to lie, not everybody can do it well… BuI bet that many people have not the time and patience to read your arguments…”—Grete Tartler Tabarasi

    [I] think many things. Among them, that I agree that lying is a talent. I also agree that murder, violence, theft, fraud, fraud by omission, free riding, privatization of the commons conspiracy, conversion, invasion and conquest require great skill. And that theft by such methods is rewarding and enjoyable – and certainly preferable to engaging in production, holding to contract and promise, and speaking the truth and the whole truth. So some of us must do the yeoman’s labor of capturing, chaining, imprisoning and hanging those who murder, steal, lie, and cheat.
