A BS detection class would be interesting. It's too easy to look at videos of famous liars like Madoff or Bill Clinton and say its easy to tell they are lying because of their body language, in hindsight.
I would love to videos of non famous people telling lies about themselves and try to see if I could spot the liars at greater than average percentages.
Maybe that's an idea for a fun website....
Of course event this course wouldn't help you when the liars actually believe their own bullshit, which seems to be fairly common among the most successful fraudsters.
- claytonjy 7y agothis might not be quite what you're looking for, but the Calling Bullshit site/course [0] is pretty great. It's not about reading body language, but instead about finding issues in arguments as laid out in the media, scientific literate, and elsewhere. Really, really excellent examples, including some very recent ones. [0] https://www.callingbullshit.org/ https://www.callingbullshit.org/
