Lie in a Lie
Deceitful Deceit Mendaciology
Ayodeji, I would call a lie on this. Disproven by the rules you say you follow, and the fact that you are suggesting that other people follow them.
There is a truth in your lie which you do talk about. If I understand, it is that you should follow the rules and not follow the rules.
Other people might suggest you should never lie and always keep your integrity. Always follow the important rule of telling the truth. Lies in lies are not good or beneficial to you. Deceitful deceit may seem fun at first, but not later.
One person I knew who was pretty amazing at this was Steve Jobs. To my knowledge he never lied.
The classic back when I knew him 1988–1994 was when he would put you to a job and give you six weeks. He would warn that if you did not do the job in the six weeks he would fire you. And if you didn’t, he did.
If you had something he wanted, he would tell you it would take one of his people two months to copy it, and therefore he would pay X dollars for it. If you didn’t take his money, he did what he said he would do.
He did lie. (Now there I go with a lying lie.)
He was a sociopath in sales. He would promise a customer a deal, then screw the customer. The solution when he went back to Apple was not do sales. Just manage and market. He loved marketing and creating great things. Never lied on those.
Contrast this with someone like Trump who lies truthfully all the time, and tells truths about things anybody in their right mind would lie about. He tells truths deceitfully. No integrity in his twisted psychopathology.
I would suggest your last phrases should have been, “Rules are not for dorks. You are a winner. Never forget the rules altogether.” Just say’n.
Fiat lies, lies without respect, are always bad, which brings me to the mendaciology of it…
