@leannetenbrinke: Most people watch for eye contact and nervous movements when trying to detect a lie but research shows those signals are unreliable. After two decades studying dishonesty the real tells are in the story itself not the body language. I talk more about how deception actually works in my new book Poisonous People. Drop BOOK in the comments for the link.
Repeated dishonesty. Once you learn someone regularly lies, check the accuracy of your own intuition. At some point you just have to discard whatever they say, and simply assume your intuition is the truth.

I thought too many details and elaborate stories are a give away.

See the first 2 points are good but the last one isn’t always true. For instance what did you eat for dinner last Wednesday? I bet most people would struggle to say right off the top of their head but might be able to work it out with some thought. Doesn’t mean they’re lying

Another one is avoiding talking about the experience / perception of the self (e.g., less use of the word “I”) — I listened to a podcast about this once… it may have been on hidden brain or freakonomics?

Ambiguity, referral to ppl you don’t know, tension is not- fluently lying ppl don’t even flinch.

Where should I start, ie. what authors or particular papers, when I’m looking at issues of deception. I have about 6k words in intuitive notes, but I’d like some pointers on helpful descriptions and analyses, if you’re willing

🤔 This is so untrue! Especially number 2. I was just talking to George Glass about this whole thing and agrees with me 💯

fun fact, under the invention secracy act there is a high fidelity EEG device that can 100% monitor a person's brain and tell the difference between memory, a lie, dream, hallucination, illusion, deja vu, daydream. its amazing. but its protected under the act because of the implications for secracy, particularly for military intelligence and politicians.

They will be projecting onto others to avoid accountability.. they will intellectualise human behaviour to control it.. they will triangulate the crowd to chose between good and bad… their black and white thinking can’t see the grey!
