Death of the Lie
Wretchard of Belmont club made a comment regarding lying that I find interesting.
It is becoming too expensive to maintain an elaborate lie. The effort necessary to maintain apparent consistency with verifiable information simply grows to high too be worth it.
If this is true, it would seem that as information becomes ever larger and more available, lying would become defunct. Unable to perform its primary function, hidding the truth, lying will simply be dropped like a broken tool or an old slang word.
