Truthfulness, Deceit, and Trust - Olena's

Perspective of the Deceived
21, 22 “Just as skepticism denies the possibility of
knowledge, so determinism denies the possibility of
freedom. Yet both knowledge and freedom to act on it
are required for reasonable choice.”
22 To say that lying makes no difference in the overall
“misinformation or ‘unfreedom’ of those lied to,” is a
perspective that the deceived cannot share.
Deception can be coercive. “When it succeeds , it can
give power to the deceiver.”
