There's been a lot of research proving that people who lie to themselves are more successful then those who are honest with themselves. In fact research indicates that lying to yourself is actually the norm; its' the people who are honest with themselves that are more likely to be clinically depressed.
This is the first time I've seen this theory applied to civilization.

- crimsonalucard 11y agoin everything really. From business to passing on genes.
