Bloff - hvordan juks og selvbedrag gj?r oss til ekte mennesker
Cynical and selfish lies have always been condemned by society. But the witty bluff, the ability to resort to deception for the sake of good goals (for example, circle the enemy around the finger), aroused sympathy and delight. What is the reason for this duality, what are the mechanisms of lies and why did a person need them in the course of evolution? In search of answers, the author of the book visited the Defense Research Institute, studied the latest camouflage patterns, enrolled in courses in aristocratic manners in London and visited a fake house there, studied fake masterpieces of art and became a pick-up artist for a while. He got acquainted with the latest theories of philosophers, anthropologists and neuropsychologists, talked with art historians, police experts and even ornithologists.
