 You know, lying doesn't work because of our means of survival, if the way in which we create stuff is to reason. Reason means what? Reason means absorbing information and analyzing it and being what about that information, being honest about it? We want real facts. You know the computer terminology of garbage in, garbage out? You know, if you feed something to a computer that's BS, then you're going to get BS. You're not going to get good stuff out of feeding. If you have a computer up here, it's kind of a computer. It's more than a computer, right? If you feed it garbage, it's going to spew out garbage. If you feed it lies, you're going to fail. And you think that you can hold the lie separate from the truth? Good luck. Because, as I said, our minds are integrating machines. They love to integrate stuff. Our mind, our subconscious, doesn't know what you've defined as a lie and what isn't. It's going to mesh them up. People who lie constantly can't tell the difference. Now I'm pretty old, particularly in this room, right? And I have a hard time remembering what actually happens, right? Like a week ago, you asked me, what did you do a week ago? I have to really think about it? I don't remember. I really don't. Now what happens when you lie? You have to remember what you did, and then what else do you have to remember? What you told, the lie. And the lie comes with all kinds of complicated circumstances, right? Because you have to remember what you lied, who you lied to, and who you didn't lie to. I mean, it's, wow, it's way too complicated. And you're going to fail. I can't remember one thing. Now you want to even remember two or three or four. And it's, you know, and it's layered. You know, I used to do these seminars at this company, and I used to give this example of a guy who, you know, goes out and drinks with his buddies and comes home and tells his wife, oh, I was at work late. And I used to explain why this was, you can't sustain a lie like that, even a simple lie like that. Just can't sustain it. Because what if the wife meets one of the buddies and other buddies have to know that you're lying, and they have to say, yeah, he works late, and what if she bumps into your boss and complains to the boss, how come he's working late all the time? And the boss says, he's not. So somebody raises the hand and says, this is exactly what happened, right? This guy was telling his wife he was working late, he was out drinking or whatever. And the wife called the boss and said, how come my husband's working late all the time? And the boss says, he's not. Guess how that relationship worked out, right? Lies don't work because they're anti-reason, because they're anti-reality, because they're anti-fact.
