Duped: Truth-Default Theory and the Social Science of Lying and Deception by Timothy R. Levine
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.97 MB, 554 pages, Retail
Overview: A scrupulous account that overturns many commonplace notions about how we can best detect lies and falsehoods
From the advent of fake news to climate-science denial and Bernie Madoff’s appeal to investors, people can be astonishingly gullible. Some people appear authentic and sincere even when the facts discredit them, and many people fall victim to conspiracy theories and economic scams that should be dismissed as obviously ludicrous. This happens because of a near-universal human tendency to operate within a mindset that can be characterized as a “truth-default.” We uncritically accept most of the messages we receive as “honest.” We all are perceptually blind to deception. We are hardwired to be duped. The question is, can anything be done to militate against our vulnerability to deception without further eroding the trust in people and social institutions that we so desperately need in civil society?
