0:00 Opening 0:48 Introduction 3:28 Lecture 1:21:12 Discussion 1:42:03 Conclusion The lecture will explore paradoxes in the field of dishonesty and deception. For example, almost everyone believes that they can recognize cheaters and liars, even though almost no one can do it systematically. We focus on bad traits, and on the contrary, we ignore demonstrable signs of deception. At the same time, people believe that deception and distrust are ubiquitous and increasingly intense, even though honesty and trust are increasingly typical manifestations of human interactions (in most countries). However, I will show that this is not entirely true either, as shown by the dynamics of the selection of cheaters into specific areas. We will delve into the ways of thinking, behavior and characteristics that make us the most likely victims of fraud. We will conclude the lecture with tidbits from research on dishonesty and business ethics. As it is one of the most difficult scientific directions ever; to the point that it is probably full of fraudsters.
