My thesis exactly. The question is Stupid or Liar? I think the popular theory is it’s the latter but I’m suspicious it’s mostly the former. And I’m not really sure which would be betterhttps://twitter.com/MZHemingway/status/1097207477035249664 …

It's the usual setup: smart liars on top, stupid honest people at the bottom, various pathological combinations in between.

In a Darwinian sense, if you're stupid, you aren't smart enough to get away with lying. Eventually stupid people who lie "die off" (not literally, but socially). The smart people who are remaining may or may not be liars. The stupid people remaining almost certainly aren't liars.

If stupid people lie, they get caught and blacklisted because they suck at lying. Therefore, the stupid people remaining who are not blacklisted must not have lied very often. If they did, they would've been blacklisted! If they were not blacklisted, then they must've been smart.

Unless their bosses are encouraging, rather than discouraging, lying.
