A madman once proclaimed that the history of humanity is a history of lies.
While that statement may be a bit extreme, humanity is undeniably a race that excels at and even enjoys lying.
From the little white lies of daily life to the cutthroat deception of the business world, it was a free-for-all. The titans of industry were all too willing to bend the truth, each one trying to outdo the other, as long as it tricked customers into buying their products.
Many elites across all professions are masters of this craft. Some even take pride in deceiving more people. In certain industries, the greater one's talent for lying and deception, the higher the pay and the more one is valued by their superiors.
On an even higher level, in the realm of national conflicts, rivalries, and wars, the lies are simply endless.
In fact, "strategic deception" has been a key stratagem in the art of war throughout history.
