Lies Can Be Entertaining- Liespotters to Truth Seekers

Liespotters are armed with scientific knowledge to spot deception. Using this knowledge, they can go out to get the truth, the whole truth. Well, and maybe sometimes, it only takes intuition to spot deception.

**It Takes Two to Form A Deceitful Act**

Lying in itself does not have any capability. Other than hot air that comes out from the mouth, there's basically nothing much lies can do. The only time lies can be destructive- or constructive- is when the recipient(s) believes, and sometimes acts on the lie.

When there are unwilling, or unknowing, participants in a deception, it could have dramatic costs- think Maddoff. Henceforth, deception can be a lucrative business.

Lying is Neatly Integrated into Our Daily Lives

Lying is complex. But somehow, we humans have managed to integrate such complexity neatly into our daily lives. The intensity of its complexity is so great that liars may think of themselves as telling the truth even as they lie.

The act of lying is deeply ingrained in our mind as bad... And horrible. But we are privily going for it. The matter-of-fact is the smarter a person is, the more deceptive the person will be- there are no 2-ways about it.

Liespotting Techniques

1. Non-Contracted vs Contracted Denials
Non-contracted denials are spoken slowly, less emotionally, and used with formal grammar more than normally would when one is overdetermined in their denial. i.e. "I--did--not-- talk to her" versus "I didn't talk to her" [the latter is a contracted denial].

2. Choice of Words Tends to Be "Distancing"
In defense, a liar may choose to use "that person" vs "Kei" (the name of the person). But of course, in situations whereby the liar became very put off regarding the subject in the conversation, "that person" may be used in contempt and not in an attempt to lie.

3. Too Much Voluntary Details
Liars tend to overrun on details in hope to convince. But when he or she manages to latch on to this telltale sign, he will consciously cut down on details but may get fidgety- frequent battering eyelashes, playing with fingers etc

Many More Techniques... But

Behaviours are just behaviours. Words are just words. Even with a combination of those telltale signs above, it may not necessary means a deception is taking place (or maybe I'm just lying in defense that I don't wish that you see me through?). But in any way, these are cool facts to know and explore.

To wrap up, the most important takeaway is: It takes at least 2 for a deception to fall into place.
