55. The way to make liars reveal themselves is to lie to them

Tue Jun 4, 2019, 09:05 PM

Jun 2019

They expect all others to tell the truth. Lying to them gums up their story line. Make them deny the lies by revealing the truth which may not be as bad as the lies, but nonetheless still damning. Once you get them talking / denying, anything can happen. Lack of ethics and morals does not constitute intelligence.
