Taught my kids a way to trick bad people. Most bad people assume everyone else has the same motives, so they'll believe you want to do x if they'd want to. E.g. a selfish person will believe you'd want to do something selfish.

Come to think of it, this works for any motives. I'd readily believe anyone would do something out of curiosity. But you don't need to trick people who aren't bad (unless you yourself are).

Why trick anyone ? We should treat others the way we are and not for who or what they are.
