The art (and science) of lying

But isn’t that exactly what a liar would say? :wink:

ETA: More seriously, I’d posit there are three main reasons people lie:

  1. To avoid being treated a certain way (e.g. a gay person lying to avoid being fired).
  2. To manipulate people.
  3. Privacy.

Did I miss any?
