More likely than not, its easier for a liar to get by in densely populated areas. Get caught in a lie, or marked as a liar in a small town can hurt social standing.
However, I wonder if this changes now with social media - for better or worse, accusations (true and false) are quite quickly thrown.

- steve1977 7y agoOn the other hand, most people lie (or at least exaggerate) on social media. So maybe everyone stays silent in order not to get called out themselves.
- bilbo0s 7y agoThere's likely a lot of truth to this. They say that every human is a liar. But I wonder if every human has the courage and ambition it takes to lie big? Most of us are way too fearful to even lie to low ranking people, so of course we'll never be caught in enormous lies to high ranking people. So when you imply all people are liars, yes, that's true without question. However, I'd wager that only a select few have the guts or desire to go all the way to the top with a lie.
