"We humans simply have to come to grips with the unpleasant paradox that we have evolved to deceive not only others but ourselves as well, about the nature and background of some aspects of our everyday behavior, and how they came to be."

"Stated simply, manipulation is a form of influence that operates by getting us to make mistakes in our psychological states or processes. It works by exploiting the imperfections in our rational agency that are part and parcel of the human condition." https://t.co/uXzaXfcSg0

@CharacterGap @learningandtheb Sounds like an amazing meeting!

It's true that deceiving yourself makes you better at deceiving others. It's also true that deceiving others makes you better at deceiving yourself.

[Robin Hanson @robinhanson]

"Confidence in their veracity judgments did not predict [news judgement] accuracy … News imprecision and news tendency to polarize opinions increased the likelihood of misjudgment" https://t.co/lrtSnEukFT

[Chris Hart @chrishartpsych]

“Thus, contrary to long-standing assumptions, there is notable consistency in dishonest behavior that can be attributed to underlying dispositional factors.”

My review of Stewart Clem's very good book on lying and truthfulness is now forthcoming at The Thomist.

[Robin Hanson @robinhanson]

"an eyewitness who is exogenously incentivized to lie and takes a solemn oath is significantly less likely to use deception."

@LeorZmigrod @guardian @Telegraph @newscientist Amazing work, Leor! I can’t wait to read it.

[Chris Hart @chrishartpsych]

Thanks again to Dr. Radio @NYUDocs and Dr. Michael Aronoff for having me on to discuss deception, trust, and online misinformation.

[Rob Sica @robsica]

"We are just beginning. The next level of deception involves convinc­ing others by word, gesture, expression, and other ways -- outside our *costly* interactions with them -- that we are *truthful* people and that *honesty* is our general nature." https://t.co/gPWd53R9Li

[Rob Henderson @robkhenderson]

"female aggression is well-known to take the form of reputation damage...scurrilous rumors that can be socially devastating for victims...allegations and lies which if taken seriously, can destroy reputations, livelihoods, marriages and relationships." https://t.co/mHkO198XbF
