Reminder: Be Someone Your Brain can Trust

 If your brain has to keep you in the dark and feed you on bullshit, it will. Indeed that is the normal mortal condition: they have no idea what they themselves are thinking. Their self-awareness is a fake. Voters aren't trusted even by the voter themselves. 

 The only way to stop this is to be trustworthy. Be someone your brain can cooperate with. It does your thinking for you - it is smarter than you are. You cannot outmanoeuvre it. If you want it to do anything you want it to do, first you have to do things for it. 

 And then it has to buy your plan anyway, so there's that. Still, you can relieve it of the burden of having to craft lies to tell you. No matter how smart it is, it can be smarter still if it can offload tasks to you.
