Lie: I’m immune to deception.
Truth: We are complicit in our own deception.
Nothing is so easy as to deceive oneself; for what we wish, we readily believe. — Demosthenes
We like to be deceived. — Blaise Pascal
Not only are we susceptible to deception – we ourselves are complicit in it. That may seem impossible; after all, how could we deceive ourselves – deception presupposes that we be unaware of it. But we forget that our deception runs deeper than we think. Much deeper. To understand this we must first see what deception is and then how it works.
