Everyone always lies to the powerful, to curry favor or avoid punishment. Hearing nothing but flattery causes the most powerful people to develop the most distorted views of reality, and their vast influence means we all pay the price.

dans nos sociétés modernes et industrielles, travailler est devenu nécessaire à l’individu s’il désire être doté d’une utilité et d’un rang social. Or, comme nous l’avons vu, le statut social est aussi important pour le striatum que la loi du moindre effort… Conclusion : notre striatum est pris entre deux feux. Il vit sa première crise interne.

19. Nominal Fallacy:
We label things to avoid having to think about them. For example, calling a murderer "evil" to explain their behavior absolves us of the need to confront the complex web of circumstances that led them to murder.
