Before you can lie to another, you must first lie to yourself.
I'm not merely pointing out a trivial exception though. It's important to understand that there are some people who can lie convincingly without believing what they're saying.

Indeed, I have been conned. My defence: https://twitter.com/naval/status/511715728899473408?lang=en … Long term, lying is its own punishment. It clutters the mind, lowers self-esteem, raises paranoia, attracts other liars, repels honest collaborators, and weakens judgement. Liars are miserable people.
