When Meyer says that lying is a cooperative act, she means that lying takes more than one person and that a lie gets power when other people believe that the lie is true. I agree because some people will believe anything you say and think it is true. When she says that lying is a way of connecting what we wish we were with what we are, she means that lying to people makes us feel better as a person and that lying can make us who we want to be.
Yes, I agree with truth number two, because people do not like others who lie, but in some instances people tell you to lie about certain things and some people like to lie to sound cool.
Some techniques to spot liars, are to listen to the words they say, watch their body language and find discrepancies between their actions and words. We would want to learn these techniques so we can tell easier when someone is lying and not listen to or believe them.
Yes, I think that honesty is worth preserving and that we can create a cultural and societal change regarding lying by changing our attitudes about lying and not always thinking that it is an okay thing to do
