In Norse Eddas, in Greek Philosophers, in Buddhist scholars, in Babylonian epics, everywhere you see one and the same attitude "Lie is gay"

After all, that is the main precondition of all Philosophy

odysseus lied a lot

yes of course, I was referring to ideals

LYING: IS IT GOOD, OR IS IT BAD?

PER ODYSSEUS

WE SEE THAT IT IS GOOD WHEN IT ADVANCES GOOD RESULTS,

BUT BAD WHEN IT ADVANCES BAD RESULTS

HMM

THE PHILOSOPHY OF PEER PRESSURE

FUCK HUMANS

THEY LIE

hypothesis: a society that is organized according to the principle of truth as much as possible, reduces the need for, or ability to produce lies and liars

the more the society corresponds to a lie, the more lying and liars are a frequent social phenomenon

a noble lie = a history of previous bad decisions

UNIVERSALISM DIES

when a lie is necessary in order to maintain good outcomes, it means that the hour is alredy way too late

WHEN SOCIETY REWARDS LIES, IT GETS MORE OF THE SAME

Donald Trump has to lie much more than Genghis Khan did

Caesar had to tell plenty of fairy tales, but not his enemies the Gauls

pluralism of opinion granters (i.e. the politicians) by definition necessitates deception

that's the problem prozak

society always rewards lies if the liar is good enough

socialism rewards lying about your needs, capitalism rewards lying about your products

to me, there is a considerable difference between a democratic society in primitivist sense, and a "political society" per Machiavelli

everything rewards lying and deceiving

deceit is the single best survival strategy on this earth

"Political societies" are somewhat quite opposed to Traditional idea

deceit + endurance = success

really a good society is one where those things are not necessary

Nazi Germany was on the surface, a quite totalitarian regime, but under the surface, a highly politicized society where political currents fought using different manners

You had Hitler/Goebbels current, Himmler current, Rosenberg current, Ribbentrop current, the old guard

and they all formed their own circles and plotted against each others bitterly

kept together perhaps only thanks to Hitler's ingeniousness in managing human minds

deceit cannot be eliminated as a weapon

however, i believe we are speaking of social ideals, and there is a quite evident notable difference

which we cannot ignore

namely, somewhere, men, that means, politicians, burreaucrats, are trained in deception as a main method of acquiring results from their birth

in other societies, you lack this kind of competition

happy earth day hippie hardgreen linkolite fgts

one cannot say that Ottoman Empire and Frankish Kingdom had the same attitude towards deception
