Dissecting the Liar

People lie all of the time most on purpose. S ometimes in science a person who has their facts incorrect are also considered a liar.

Is there a part of the brain that is less evolved that creates lies compared to an evolved brain that does not lie?
 
Just the opposite. It takes creativity to lie.

But is there a location within the brain that generates lies meant to corrupt other people?

Why spend all of that creativity lying. Causes all types of stress plus it brings your character down.

Would my thinking that gravity did not exist prior to the Big Bang be considered to be a constructive lie, a lie or being imaging constructively?

A lie is something that does not have any proof from what I have learned but is told over and over again until a number of people believe it.

Does this make the lie real then?

Something that is wrong is not automatically a lie. To lie to someone you have to have the intent to deceive.

Thinking there is no gravity before the big bang is neither a lie nor creative. We don't know what, if anything, existed prior to the big bang. There are plenty of ideas floating around. Someone like you may appreciate Neil Turok's ideas on this matter.
 
But how creative does one have to be in order to top theirselves with a lie? Or does the lie twist back around to make another lie?

Must play more Star Trek and Eve Online.

The above is a thought experiment that is being conducted similar to the Tesseract from Interstellar.
 
Lying is made possible by the existence of self-awareness; it's probably pretty highly "evolved."

How can lying be highly evolved? Trying to make someone see what's in your mind to make them like you is evovled how?

I deal with such people in a constant basis that attack me because I am Trek fan as well as sci Fi in general. The only reason that I can think is that hate what I enjoy doing because they are not in my mind directing my actions thus making their " spirit" something to be wowed over. Why do they waste their life in such a manner when people all think differently from each other and that a person cannot occupy another person except in the realm of sci-fi?

Evolution is about long-term survival. When the chips are down, you've got a better chance of survival if more people like you, instead of disliking you.

This has nothing to do with the topic. At all.

It seems like you keep confusing very separate things with lying. Trying to make someone see what's in your mind is not lying, that is more like teaching. Lying is an intentional false statement.

I think the OP is trying to work something out. If you look at his first two posts I'd say he's been perceived or accused (or thought he was accused) as lying after being shot down.

Dryson, I'm taking this seriously but I'm not sure what to say.

What is it that you think "evolution" means? It seems that you have a very moralistic, rather than rational, understanding.

Take for example some of the individuals I recently worked with. They would make comments as if they were members of this board, Sojourner you were mentioned as being a black male.

Other individuals have taken bits and pieces of these threads to try and make their self believe that they are actually these people and then me as well.

Why the lie? Someone looking for a competitive edge loses all competiveness when they lie because it causes logical processing taking place in the brain that actually affects them and how they do their job professionally. Not only that when other people of the same caliber lie as well and the group gets together to formulate more lies the degradation spreads even more.

So why lie to get a competitive edge? It just makes people not able to trust you in the long run when you go to look for a better job and can't get a better job because those that you have lied with then have the ability to affect that new job because of how the entire group lied to try and bring each other down because they are too lazy to better their self through education.
 
Wait a second. Are you saying people at your work are acting like members of this bbs from threads you are involved with and are then messing with you?
 
Actually I have had people who I don't even know approach me and say that they are people from this website as well as people from my Facebook page the same at work as well.

But the contract that I was working ended several days ago and I no longer work there.

Why would they lie?

To create an illusion of something that is not real? Why project theirself as someone that they are not.

I think what is happening is the older generation wanting more and more control to keep progress from happening and them being eliminated as the middle man regarding information is trying to make theirself believe that since they have been employed for a certain amount of time somewhere that what ever they say is what goes regardless of whether it is true or not.

I think these same people are trying to moderate the internet to keep liberal ideology from spreading. Liberal being the freedom to explore and educate oneself instead of being told how to be educated.

Actually this has been going on for a very long time ever since I worked for a local telemarketing agency that hates Star Trek.
 
People around you claim to be part of this BBS. They are doing this as a means to control the educational process and keep themselves in a position of social and educational control. And, one sign of all this was a telemarketing firm that you had worked for which hated Star Trek?

It sounds like you might ascribe that to this outlook.

The Western World has been brainwashed by Aristotle for the last 2,500 years. The unconscious, not quite articulate, belief of most Occidentals is that there is one map which adequately
represents reality.
Moreover, that there exists a group who work to establish that reality map through the established educational system for their benefit?
