Final blog, Liar
"lying is a cooperative act", necessitates the purposeful making of a false declaration and the declaration being believed as true. I'm not sure if I totally agree with her about this, while we should be cynical about some things we see or hear if it comes from someone who should be trustworthy it's not necessarily our fault if we believe it.
for truth number two, I would say society is against lying but the individual is covertly for it. On the more macro scale in society, lies undermine our societal structure. For the individual, lies can be used for gain.
Some techniques to spot Liars are to be cynical and fact check. We should want to learn these techniques so we have a better understanding of the world around us.
Honesty is worth preserving, it is necessary for us to keep faith in our fellow humans. Create societal change about lying is to first punish those who are in journalistic or governmental positions, harshly for any disinformation they spread.
