The problem is right there in the article--incentives. There are no consequences for lying, for telling obvious untruths. No one is embarrassed or ashamed of being a liar. You just have to keep doubling down forever, and even in the face of overwhelming facts, keep throwing out moronic defense after moronic defense. Keep your mob angry and their minds completely closed. Make sure to do some extra projection; accuse others of that which you are guilty. Then in all the finger-pointing no one will ever figure out the truth. In all of these activities, lies are your friend and your reward. Local incentives. Bastards will just keep lying because it's the best strategy for them. Until there are abrupt and justified consequences for lies and liars, we will swim in them like a flood.
