Lies and secrecy are widespread, from AI-generated classwork and music to the dishonesty of politicians and social network misinformation.
We're getting used to it, because it started early: from a very early age, we were led to believe in a guy dressed in red who comes every year at Christmas in his flying cart pulled by reins, handing out to every child the presents they've wished for.
