Truth and Societal Despair

 In kindergarten they tell you not to toot your own horn. If nobody praises you when you do something glorious, too bad, suck it up buttercup. 

 They also tell you not to lie. 

 Everyone non-autistic instantly realizes they're joking about not lying. They mean only, "Don't harm my interests." They want you to tell them whatever they want to hear, such as confessing when you're doing something harmful to them (so they can make you stop), and otherwise flattering them outrageously.

 Normies, especially as children, don't know what words mean. They react to praise and scolding and that's about it. Classical conditioning. They couldn't follow an anti-lying principle even if they wanted to, as they're incapable of being aware of it. Later, it vaguely comes together for them: they were punished for telling the truth sometimes and rewarded for lying sometimes, so their original incomprehension and disregard was correct. It's a joooooke.

 This joke is told by those who wish to plunge their society into decay and despair. It is accepted by adults and future adults who also wish to plunge their society into despair and devastation.
 History shows even the smallest lie is cancerous. Deadly if untreated. Subliminally, they know this, and adopt lies because they like cancer.
 Even a child will fight you if you punish lies consistently. They easily adopt Namelessness and vice. They savagely oppose virtue. Even if the costs are similar. 

 You shouldn't praise yourself gratuitously, because it's a sexual display. The equivalent of boobs for men. Same way women shouldn't randomly flash their knockers. Even if they are a prostitute, and sensibly priced, your wife quite reasonably won't like it. And if the hooker is among only other women, nobody wants to see those. Put 'em away. 

 However, if it's relevant, don't lie. It's Satanic. Toot loud and proud. If a bunch of bitches starts talking shit about your boobs, go ahead and whip 'em out to prove the scuttle wrong. "If you didn't want to be sexually embarrassed, shouldn't have brought it up." ("Responsibility?!?!? Ewwwww!!!11!") 

 The rejection of virtue is testable. Any advice that would resist social entropy is rejected. If you (somehow, heroically) come up with something that increases decay and failure, even if it's expensive or a huge pain in the butt, you'll find you can't drag them away from it with wild horses. Revealed preferences.
