Am I manipulating you right now? Yes. And you probably want me to. Drew and I open the episode with why real psychopaths look nothing like the ones in the movies (and could be sitting across from you at dinner). We also get into the science behind why the world’s best lie detectors barely beat a coin flip, what happened when people tracked every lie they told for a week, and the strongest predictor of whether you believe people are conspiring against you. We end on an uncomfortable question: How aware are you of your own lies?
