How to spot a liar - Pamela Meyer

On any given day we're lied to from 10 to 200 times, and the clues to detect those lie can be subtle and counter-intuitive. Pamela Meyer, author of Liespotting, shows the manners and "hotspots" used by those trained to recognize deception -- and she argues honesty is a value worth preserving.

I would prefer to not be in situations where I have to lie. That necessity is humiliating me.

I don't agree with the idea that only innocent people will cooperate in order to help people 'get to the truth'. A lot of criminals (who were later found to be guilty) cooperate in investigations and answer questions even though they are trying cover up what they did.
Saying something like 'hey it might be someone in payroll that forged those checks' does not necessarily indicate honestly. Liars often shift the blame on others!
The problem with these examples is that there is hindsight bias here. Studying people we know were lying is not much of science.

Imagine everyone watches this video and now we have more complex ways of lying *it would be like a bacteria gaining resistance to antibiotics, chaos in other words*

How lie can undermine democracy, if lie is "cooperative act"?

😉🤨😏 these are all the other asymmetrical facial expressions that I guess you haven't noticed. Funny that there is no contempt emoticon. Maybe that's why people confuse smirking face with contempt. A smirk may be a sense of superiority but it's not as bad as contempt.

Just because you have lied
Does not make you a liar..

why do people..?
Many lie as vanity like...
Who you know.. ✔
what you got... ✔
Where you've have been.. ✔
but
There are lies of want & need that has a big difference between the 2
Along
With the one of exaggeration witch is both a lie & truth..
Now how can you spot that..?
because
Not everybody lies the same way & is subject to change with mood & if there's consequence....
By
comparing you behaviors to what there doing
Go with what you know...
& pay attention to
variations in tone of voice & mannerisms
Then
you will start to hear & see acts in human behavior
because
there are only so many ways One can act in any given situation with emotions affecting the out come....

You should learn how to speak properly! You ain't speaking for only the United States. Part of your speeches are completely not understandable without subtitles for people who are learning English. Then why are you in TED then?
