-Sometimes the truth is inconvenient. When those times arise, you might be able to tell a **Lie** to get out of the situation. **Lying**, which is the act of telling a Lie, is the time-honored art of concealing inconvenient truths. Pretty much anybody can tell a Lie. In fact, everyone generally Lies to themselves in some way already. However, Lying is also studied and practiced as an art form by [[hazards:wingnuts|politicians]], [[hazards:cults|cults]], the [[hazards:shills|public relations industry]], and many other types of [[hazards:fediverse|affinity groups]].+Sometimes the truth is inconvenient.

-Or, you can take things in the other direction, and tell a great big lie. Sometimes, if a lie is so big, people will think there is no way you would be crazy enough to concoct something so absurd, and they will believe it. This works best when you have multiple people in on the lie, or the backing of the state. Just go balls to the wall, never ever admit fault, and stick to it no matter how ridiculous it becomes. This is a common manifestation technique used by [[hazards:cults]].+Or, you can take things in the other direction, and tell a great big Lie.

-**Gaslighting** is an advanced form of Lying, where you trick someone into believing an elaborate alternative reality, while simultaneously using [[tactics:pavlovian conditioning]] to wear down the target's mental defenses every time they display suspicion of your cruel charade.+**Gaslighting** is an advanced form of Lying, where you trick someone into believing an elaborate alternative reality. Beyond just the Lie, however, you will also be using [[tactics:pavlovian conditioning]] to wear down the target's mental defenses every time they display suspicion of your cruel charade.
  
 ==== Inception ==== ==== Inception ====
  
-The human brain's capacity for recognizing the Lies of others is remarkably deep, though oftentimes undertrained. To get around natural defenses like pattern-recognition, you might have to profile your target ahead of time. This is so you can break down your Lie into a puzzle of several **precursor components** and distribute them in various places for the target to "find" with minimal suggestion, obscuring your role as the common denominator behind all the pieces. If the target has been profiled well enough, and you deny them the opportunity to put up a defense, then sometimes you can get them to "naturally" reach the conclusion you wanted them to reach on their own.+The human brain's capacity for recognizing the Lies of others is remarkably deep, though oftentimes undertrained.

This is very easy to do when combined with [[tactics:triangulation|triangulation attacks]].

-Thanks to the world wide web and the rapidly increasing interconnectedness of mankind, Liars from every country are now able to trade tips & strategies about Lying over the internet. This has created a new worldwide abundance of Liars which vastly outnumber the capacity of places willing to shelter Liars, leaving many of these people jobless & homeless. Devoured by their innate guilt and screaming conscience which they do nothing to solve, many Liars transform over time into wandering black holes, sucking in many innocent bystanders along their journey to rock bottom.+Thanks to the world wide web and the rapidly increasing interconnectedness of mankind, Liars from every country are now able to trade tips & strategies about Lying over the internet.

 To overcome this seismic shift in the market of Lying, professional Liars have had to alter their [[:tactics]]. They have found out that by being more careful and subtle with their Lies, they will go largely unnoticed & unchallenged by a television-hypnotized population that only occasionally sees through the most basic of deceptions. Eventually the stench of the Lies pouring forth from all of these people will thoroughly pollute the heavens and invite Divine Judgement upon the Earth. To overcome this seismic shift in the market of Lying, professional Liars have had to alter their [[:tactics]].
